YES! Big news! I won the 42nd Asiago International Award For Philatelic Art - Premio Internazionale d’Arte Filatelica – Tourism Price (1 of 3 cathegories)! Competition is considered the “Oscar of Stamps” and is big deal in stamp business – at least for me. Winning stampset is the Branches of Friendship set (above), designed for Valentine’s Day 2011 for Finnish Post.

After this news I was interviewed in Helsingin Sanomat (Biggest newspaper in Finland), Yle Radio 1 (Finnish national radio), Monocle Radio (London), etc.

I’m rebuilding this site at the moment.
Most of the time you can use the whole site if you don’t mind not so good visuals and some things not momentarily working as they should. For example blog posts and portfolio can be viewed.

Sorry for inconvience. Work should be done some time at august 2012.

It is released today, as a sheet of 12 stamps, with First Day Cover and cancellation.

First Day Cover was originally an alternative sketch for a stamp. With some tweaks it made a perfect companion for a stamp and cancellation.

Here’s also two other sketches I made for a stamp.

I did this one for an ad of a bakery. For some reason it was never published (as far as I know). I think it’s very good anyway.
