America artist Ellsworth Kelly (1923 – 2015), whose work I have often covered here on ‘The Gig, forged a distinctive style of abstraction over his seven decades as an artist. On May 31st, 2019 Kelly was commemorated with 10 U.S. Postal Service stamps highlighting his work. Amazing!

The price of a first class postage stamp will increase from 42 cents to 44 cents effective Monday, May 11th, 2009. So I’d suggest everyone head down to their local Post Awful some time before then and pick up a few books of the Forever Stamp, like I did this morning. By virtue of its name, the Forever Stamp – which can currently be purchased for $7.56 for a book of 18 stamps – will still be valid for the 44 Cent postage increase and all increases after that! So stock up now and save yourself the hassle of having to buy a bunch of 2-cent stamps!
