A Gallery of Postage Stamp People

I've been slow to share my latest Postage Stamp People collages.  I've continued to have great fun pairing portrait-style postage stamps with vintage photographs to create new, quirky characters.

First, there is a casual Queen Elizabeth, relaxing on a spring afternoon by the river:

Next, a dapper Francisco Franco, looking every bit as uptight as I'm sure he truly was:

And how about an adorable Ralph Bunche, fishing on the dock down by the harbor:

And, perhaps you recall FDR as a cigarette girl?  Here he is looking like a relaxed James Dean-style character, looking out over the open road:

Did you hear about Abe's marriage to Rachel Carson?  Yeah, no one saw that coming.

But don't worry about Rachel.  She enjoyed plenty of wild times in her single years:

We knew George Washington couldn't tell a lie about the old cherry tree, but did you know about his years in the priesthood?

And, finally, a peek at Ben Franklin during his younger years, looking relaxed and confident in his boyhood:

I can't quite get enough of these quirky characters!
