About this artwork
Postage Stamp Collage
I created this portrait of the American rapper and record producer, William Adams, known professionally as Will.I.Am from approximately 3000 used postage stamps. In my portrait he appears thoughtful and reflective as he gazes out at his audience. The vibrant colours reflect his dynamic personality and the stars and stripes pattern on his scarf reflect his sense of humour as well as paying tribute to his country of birth. In… the background the #Willpower graphics are from his L.P. where of his 18 tracks, 7 of them feature contemporary celebrity stars illustrating his depth of popularity within the record industry.

Featuring the late Queen Elizabeth the stamps are styled into unique collage masterpieces, drawing on Pop Art influences like Warhol and Lichtenstein, often paying tribute to other fashionable artists. His technique involves meticulously assembling the stamps to form pixelated portraits and scenes, a nod to historical mosaic and pointillism traditions, reborn through a more modern perspective. His artworks exude a vibrant celebration of culture and iconography, urging his audience to view familiar imagery with renewed perception and awe.
