Farewell to the Year of the Pig

The twelve year Lunar cycle ends tonight, as the Year of the Rat is ushered in.




And this envelope features the last in a series of twelve stamps designed by Kam Mak. I really enjoyed this series, and I am impressed that a single artist was given the task for a multi-year project like this.

  1. Me too, I also love this series. I read somewhere that USPS isn't issuing any stamps for the Chinese New Year in 2020. Is that true?

  2. I rather liked that the USPS went in a different direction for these LNY stamp series.
    I'm not sure if we are continuing with the next series or not, but I hope we (both of our countries) do as I always look forward to them.

  3. Pretty. I like the continuity of one artist, the Isle of Man have done the same in the past.

  4. Happy New Year!

    And thank you again for that great envelope!
    I loved that serie of stamps, and I must confess that it took some time for me to discover the tiny golden animals on these stamps :-) A really fine art design :-)
