Extra post - Stamp for the upcoming exchanges (Paul Antonio)

Today's regular post is below this one.

This stamp is coming out on Jan 14th. You can pre-order on USPS.com. Since it was so much fun to see all the inspiration from the polka dot Celebrate stamp, we are going to have fun with the new LOVE stamp starting in February. It will be entirely optional to use this stamp on the Feb and Mar exchange. Maybe we can extend it into April. Then we will pick a stamp for inspiration for the summer and one for the fall. Again -- entirely optional. It will be fun to see how this stamp compares to the polka dots.

On a very sad note, it was announced on IG that Paul Antonio has covid. I first met Paul through CyberScribes 20-25 years ago. At the time, he was living somewhere in the Caribbean. Then he moved to London and he has had a fabulous career as a lettering artiest. He makes time to teach online and do live-streams where people can ask questions. He does charge for classes - but is also very generous in the amount he posts for free.

The thing that struck me about his notice was: Who lettered it? Obviously, it was Telmo. Isn't it interesting how lettering artists pull themselves together and use their skills even when they have bad news?
