I like my portrait by our own MEL so much that ... well, I'm thinking of putting it on postage stamps. Yes, if I actually am crazy enough to go ahead and order this, it'll be genuine U.S. postage. You can design and order them, too, at PhotoStamps . For yourself or as gifts. The company created a means of PC-generated postage several years ago, and now offers to put your scanned photo or graphic image on custom-printed stamps. (They do have guidelines and reserve the right to refuse an image ... I can bet some of you are disappointed {g}) A sheet of 20 stamps, each of them about 1 x 1.5 inches, at $7.80 face value, costs $16.95, with discounts for multiple sheets. Pricey, yes, but this is the non-mass-production age! The part of me that was a stamp collector since the age of six, and is dormant at the moment, was awakened by this prospect. Imagine actually being on a stamp ... when you're still alive! It's madness, I tell you! I don't think you can talk me out of this, but you're welcome to try. Or to join me. Design yours at the site and post it here!

But boy is it a tempting idea just for curiosity's sake. I want to get some done and then reproduce their barcodes in Illustrator and see if I can make my own fake stamps that still work. Wayne@OZ

Canadian Personalized Stamps They don't even have a face value on them because they're good for domestic postage whatever the rate is. By my calculation if you buy 100 sheets that means you'll be ahead when postage rates increase to 65 cents from the current 51. I wonder if they would censor an image of the English crown jewels manipped onto my my kingly head. Aus seems to have the same service. Australia personalized Stamps Although yours seems to have a "real stamp" next to the photo you choose.
