the stars on those stamps, pointing up or pointing down?
listen: another clue:
the stamps had a patriotic theme.
They didn't use 'disney villain' stamps.
Many people will use stars in different orientations without the awareness of the direction of the points.
I think it's rather an arbitrary thing for many designers.
If you want to solve the problem you can have a design where the stars animate.
My commment about the direction of the stars was almost a joke.
the choice of stamps was obvious and intentional.
If it were a Q person they would have used the disney villain stamps and they would have used 'standard' postage and put that upside down.
and fake post mark that said 'first day of prison' and a fake 'Guantanmo first flight' cache for 'air freight' and dated it 11/11/2018.
as well there would have been a 1920's era post mark that said 'Jail Early for Christmas'.
I'm sorry if I'm filling the board with nonsense but I want to make it clear about my position on the way the star points: it's usually an arbitrary decision and many artists know nothing about the symbolism of it pointing one way or another.
I have a fossil of a cepilopode. It's a shell from, supposedly, millions of years ago. It's a swirl shape, a common thing.
a fossil.
It's not a symbol of . . .
I'll make it clearer what I said:
I described a fake 'first flight' or 'first day of prison' cover as if . . . something that seemed like it would a an easy graphical project yesterday if I would make such a piece, and I described what that cover would look like, as a phillatellic item.
and I said 'if it were' not 'if I were'.
and I could have expanded that to say
if the person who crafted that cover were'.
so for 'it' please replace 'if the person who crafted that cover were'
and try to see what is there, not what you imagine.
stamp collectors, who are few, still do exist.
Here is a link to a well known publication that details the stamp issue in question. These might be a reissue, stamps have very specific details of how they are created, and distributed.
