About The Artwork

I WAS NOT AT HOME WHEN THE FIRE STARTED, I WAS ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY WHEN I GOT A CALL THAT MY HOME IS ON FIRE, WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS TOTALLY BURNT OUT, I LOST EVERYTHING BUT THE CLOTHS ON MY BACK. I have been Collecting POSTAGE STAMPS for years, I have even inherited some VERY GOOD STAMPS, over the years of collecting Stamps I have always wanted to create some STAMPS ART but I did not have enough of the COMMON STAMPS/THE ONES THAT ARE NOT VALUABLE, now I have quite a few of them so I now intend to Create some more Stamps Art. I THINK I AM THE FIRST JAMAICAN ARTIST TO CREATE A STAMP ART, I TITLED THIS THE KING AND QUEEN OF STAMPS BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THE MOST VALUABLE STAMPS IN THE WORLD, THIS STAMPS ART IS TO ENCOURAGE MORE JAMAICAN ARTIST AND OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD TO DO SOME STAMPS ART BECAUSE POSTAGE STAMPS ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE, THE MOST VALUABLE STAMP IN THE WORLD THE BRITISH GUIANA 1C MAGENTA, I HAVE PUT COPIES OF SOME OF THE MOST VALUABLE STAMPS INCLUDING THE 1C MAGENTA, THE INVERTED GENNY ETC, THE OTHER STAMPS ARE REAL, THIS STAMP ART ALSO REPRESENTS THE QUEEN AND THE PENNY BLACK STAMP, THE QUEEN IS ON SO MANY STAMPS AROUND THE WORLD THEY COLONIZE, SO I SEE HER ALSO AS THE QUEEN OF ALL POSTAGE STAMPS, I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SOME JAMAICAN STAMPS INCLUDING MARCUS GARVEY 25C AND BOB MARLEY 3$, SOME RARE JAMAICAN STAMPS,
