Trace exercise part III

vector trace of rusky stamps

So again i stumbled within the addictive myriad of traceable examples over on Ffffound. When I finally surfaced I had a folder filling to the brim with beautiful stamp illustrations from the 1960s. Most of these stamps heralded from the eastern part of Europe, but the ones that stood out over the rest were the beautiful cosmonaut themed sets. The ruskies really pushed an agenda of technological advancement during this time as is exhibited on their postal currency. Needless to say I very quickly and aggressively traced these forms, an original of which can be viewed here. After a quick Flickr search I discovered even more examples waiting for an Illustrator treatment.
