STAMPS
PROJECT REVIEW
When Greg Breeding at Journey Group summons you for a project, you listen. Designing stamps is always an honor—but when dragons are involved? That’s a childhood dream come true. This project let us tap into the imagination we first sparked thumbing through forbidden Dungeons & Dragons books as kids, sneaking glances at epic creatures and spellbound maps we weren’t technically allowed to read. In a way, it felt like we were redeeming those years—like we finally got permission to draw dragons, and even got paid for it.

I am delighted to report that Invisible Creature is both brilliantly visible and made up of benevolent creatures. They are exquisite. As an art director for the United States Postal Service, Don Clark and I have collaborated on some of my favorite postage stamp designs—from Dragons to Pinback Buttons. Invisible Creature’s work is at once inventive and colorful and bold, but also rewards a more thoughtful gaze to reveal nuance and detail and texture. Their work neither mimics current trends nor retreats into nostalgia, but is entirely original—in the purest sense of the word. Don Clark also happens to be an incredible human. While discussing a project, he is an active listener, who asks insightful questions while offering ideas for brainstorming in real time. It is all too rare to receive exquisite work while having the best possible fun along the way.
