This little illustration is too cute, but what really struck me was that Invisible Creature is having fun with some old fashioned participation using snail mail. Why? Because we all like to receive good ol’ mail. So all you have to do is send them a self-addressed stamped envelope (decorated in some way) and they’ll fill it with goodies. I’m already planning mine out, oh, and you only have until September 1 and you have to get creative with your envelope! Read the details.

“Regardless of your artistic ability, we ask that your envelope addressed to us be creatively designed or illustrated. No rules, anything goes – and we’ll post the coolest ones on Twitter.”

First Class stamps

And I approve! A new set of stamps are going to be issued in January in honor of British design. They honor the Mini, Mini Skirt, Concorde, London Underground, Routemaster Bus and more!

First class stamps

All of the stamps will be available on royalmail.com/stamps and are scheduled to be released on Jan. 13 2009. Get your credit card and mouse-clicking finger ready! I have a feeling this will sell fast.
