Royal Mail: Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

A set of illustrations for Royal Mail's special series of stamps to celebrate the Commonwealth Games being held in Birmingham.

This is a series of 8 artworks created especially for the Royal Mail's special stamps for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. I have been commissioned by the London-based agency Interabang, and we have collaborated for months to create a series that could represent the universal values and the optimistic spirit of the games.
The creative committee at Royal Mail and the Creative Direction at Interabang have identified my neofuturistic artworks as the right stylistic approach for the series.

Of the 19 sports and eight para sports in this year’s games, Interabang chose to depict diving, boxing, para table tennis, para powerlifting, gymnastics, mountain biking, athletics, and wheelchair basketball.
You can read more about the project on the BBC or Design Week.
For my Greek friends, you can read my interview on Design Mag's website.
You can buy the special stamps package on Royal Mail's website.
