    I particularly like the first design, since it gives the impression of combining explosive horror with a growing thing. Something to be'nipped in the bud' maybe?

    My notion is to produce a blended, before and after image, to suggest the consequences in no uncertain terms. The 'media' (stamp) becomes the messenger. The only thing that is growing is the proliferation and sale of nuke parts.

    I wish this were true.
    What colors.
    Have finished the Olivia Manning which was quirkily fascinating.
    Thank you.

    Both are striking...for their visual and deeper ethical effect... The first one especially seems to be a moment frozen in time when all goes wrong... The second, the aftermath... *SIGH*... Great work, Margaret!

    Brilliant! I love that these are designed as International postage stamps. They would be my preferred stamps to be sending everywhere!
