The U.S. Postal Service today issued new Forever stamps featuring digital illustrations of four North American frogs. The First Day of Issue event took place at the Morrison Knudsen Nature Center, Boise, ID. The four different “Frog” stamps are offered in a booklet of 20 and feature: the Pacific tree frog, the northern leopard frog, the American green tree frog and the squirrel tree frog.
Working with a primarily green color palette and minimal detail, artist Nancy Stahl captured the essence of each frog with enough important defining features to make them recognizable. The subtle changes to the many green tones—with details including spots, underbelly, and toes in shades of brown—accentuate the differences among the four frogs. Art director William J. Gicker designed the stamps.
