Angus McDonough’s homemade stamps
Angus McDonough, a 64-year-old British man, broke the news that he has been using stamps designed by himself to mail letters, and has sent more than 100 letters for free to as far away as Hong Kong, Australia and other parts of the world. But in the past three years, the Royal Post Office has never discovered that Angus used fake stamps. However, Anguss move was not a deliberate move not to buy stamps, but a protest against the mediocre design of the stamps.
Angus replaced the traditional portrait of the Queen with his own imaginary portrait on the 50 personal stamps he produced. Among them, sometimes it is a caricature of Angus wearing an eyepatch, sometimes wearing a weird hat. At Christmas time, Angus painted himself a Santa Claus beard. From then on, Angus used his computer to print out the stamps he designed and glued them onto the envelopes. When designing stamps, Angus did not commemorate real events in his life, but presented some of his own imagination.occasion.
In this regard, as an architect, Angus calls himself an "anarchist stamp collector". The reason why he created his own free postal system was to express his dissatisfaction with the current Royal Mail stamp design that is too bland. . While stamps may no longer exist as people move online, he doesn't think email will lead to the demise of the postal system. So, he came up with the idea of ??changing the queens avatar to another avatar.
