Stamp.sg - comment on the IR?
For more on the stamp project, see http://stamp.sg/. Meanwhile here's a particularly nice painted postbox. The artists is Mr Yap Kheng Kin, but I must confess I'm having a little trouble knowing how to interpret his artist's statement:
«This design should fit one of the postboxes at the site of the Integrated Resort or at the Esplanade. It reflects the growing anticipation of the upcoming casino.
The slot machine was an innovation in the U.S. as a marketing and entertainment strategy. I am trying to stay that the area has its potential in its well-heeled locality and development value without being too complicated or overcrowded like other parts of the city. The principle of the slot machine has not changed much since its early inception but it has gone through a lot of permutational evolution. The area should take pride in this and its history, being as ingenious as a slot machine.»Labels: Singapore
