Paintings that expand upon the scenes from postage stamps

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Scott

Super creative idea! I would love to see the same kind of thing done with people's snapshots; i.e., filling in the imagined world outside of the original picture. Fun fun!

Thanks +Chris Cho for the post!

New York-based artist Molly Rausch paints the extended scenes around the edges of postage stamps, imagining the continued horizons and broader stories told by stamp artwork.

    +Venus Nyne Agreed. I'd have loved to see that creative moment when she looked at a postage stamp and wondered… what's past the visible borders? Was it on an envelope… and she just started sketching…? Love new ideas.
