First Day of Issue Signing and Ceremony






Here are some snaps from this years first day of issue Art of Disney stamp series. The ceremony is always fun and it is intimidating to see your work towering over you! Why Disney chose to do the release in August is beyond me since it was INCREDIBLY hot, but it all went smoothly and once I was sitting and signing (five hours this year!) it was OK.

I was blessed and thrilled to have my parents with me and my wonderful partner Jared. Jared and I are both in seersucker in that picture, but I am sure he is much cooler than I am!

The gentlemen with me in the signing photo are my Art directors from the USPS and from Disney. My AD from the USPS has told me that the stamps are all in the top ten best selling stamps of all time now and who knows.....there may be more to come!?

Peter,
Congratulations on the stamps!!!! More importantly you are sporting one cool beard! I love it. How long have you had it? I am sure you loved having it in August , in Florida. :) I am working on my own beard but it not quite as cool as yours. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy checking out all the work on your blog.
