Buckminsterfuller big head

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Ok. I love Bucky. This stamp however is disturbing. The dome head I’m ok with, the giant head not really. This is one of those unpredictable moments that lead me to think about the giant ice cream cones, elephants, and other strangely shaped buildings one can find along what were once the big highways.

I imagined driving along the highway at 2 am and seeing Bucky’s head on the side of the road. What, I thought could be inside? A comfortable little hotel? A 24 hour diner? An open all night Bucky museum?

After all of these unpredictable thoughts I was lead past my moment of indecision. I really don’t like Bucky’s head with no body on this stamp. I just couldn’t buy it. Would you?

come to carbondale and see the geo-dome bucky built when he was in his 60s for himself and his wife anne hewlett (yes, that hewlett). i’ve been inside and what appears an insignificant landmark on the outside inspires and nurtures on the inside. go bucky.

now you’re in trouble… do you have high speed wireless out there?

So what do you think of the stamp.

i’ve heard of structures being organic but this is taking it to the extreme… does the postal service credit the illustrator that created this bit of stickable art?
