Former Wreake Valley pupil Designs a New Set of Stamps
Before the London Olympics, Adam Simpson was asked to design a stamp for the Triathlon event and he knows from practical experience how gruelling this event can be.
Adam lived in East Goscote but spent much of his time with his grandparents in Queniborough. He went to Wreake Valley College and a short time to Gateway College, Leicester.
From there he went on to the Edinburgh College of Art and then for a short time at the Rhode Island School of Design in America, before studying at the Royal College of Art in London. Since then and now with a wife and two children he produces illustrations which go all over the world from a studio overlooking the Thames in London.
His latest work for the Post Office is a set of stamps based on the folklore of the United Kingdom. See image.
These include the Cornish Piskies, the Selkies of Orkney and of course the most famous Loch Ness inhabitant.
These stamps are available on the internet and hopefully in the post office.
