started thinking abt annihilation while i was working on those FL wildlife stamps and i thought it'd be fun to come up a set of stamps based on scenes from the book, which then got me thinking abt the poor usps worker stuck making the trek out to the border to drop off & pick up the mail. i assume it'd be similar to the process for sending & receiving mail from remote research stations, like mcmurdo in antarctica. here's the first two of the set, exploring the descent/ascent into the tower & first contact w the crawler

“There’s never any lost time. If I work on something and I’m not happy with it, and then I go back into it and destroy or rework it, all that time was just building up material. For me that’s very much how I try to think about my own life, too. There’s never any time lost. Even something you might think of as a mistake or as a failure is really just you collecting material or information that could be rearranged or re-applied differently to get a successful outcome.”
