Item Description

Detailed Description
This set of eight Mint Stamps, is presented in four se-tenant strips and features the official Rugby World Cup 2015 logo. The illustrations were created on A4 canvases, with several painted layers per image, which were then combined digitally. The foregrounds offer fine detail and contrast; while the textured backgrounds have a more primitive feel, with thumbprints to suggest faces in the crowd.
