Description:

Check out these cool stamps celebrating the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman! They are a fine example of comic style design. Here is another resource page of tutorials.

In this swap, we will create an ATC to celebrate Wonder Woman using 1) art media and technique(s) of your choice and 2) a comic style design, with the new United States stamps as an inspiration. Please use a Wonder Woman stamp on your envelope if you can, or make a little faux stamp (it can be drawn on if you like!) in a Wonder Woman theme if you can't :) Any of the comics or TV series or animated series are fair game for inspiration.

Have fun, be open to wondrous serendipity/ imperfection, and ready to fly in that invisible jet of mail art-sperimentation :) If you do live in the US, the stamps go on sale on October 7th ... and they are of course the source of the image above.

Here are some fun Wonder Woman links:

A gallery of Wonder Woman art from DC Comics.

Her creators' history and their discussion about the portrayal of a woman superhero is completely fascinating ... and a topic for grown ups ... I am pretty sure that Superman never had to answer questions about his family planning method of choice and strategies for dealing with his more .. enthusiastic ... fan letters, anyway.

For those who don't want to completely wade into the intense discussion, there is the Wonder Woman Playlist on Spotify, and DC Comics character page.

Hooray for Diana Prince and all wondrous women!
