Niko Courtelis’ collage of postage stamps
A creative director at Plazm in Portland, Oregon, Niko Courtelis is a mail art enthusiast. He collects old typewriters, hosts a mail art group, and is deep inside the world of stamp collecting. (He was a former member of the Board of Governors of prestigious The Collectors Club in New York City.) So it is quite odd that in 2014, he would publish a booklet of collages made entirely with postage stamps. Philatelic Atrocities was published by Kat Ran Press as part of their “Essays in Philatelics” series.
