Fourteen US SPACE HEROES "Astronaut On Moon" Made In Hong Kong: Mint On Card (No.2)


"Mint On Card #2, 1968"
Digital Image, no fixed dimension.

I need crappier fonts and cheesier color. Mockup demonstration of a combine painting I want to see, estimated size would be 32x40 or so. Misspelled "Ossining" (d'oh) but then again it's meant to suggest a design by some guy over in Hong Kong from 1972. Circle in the middle of the top is meant to suggest a hole punch for a display rack. "Future Management" is a fictional business I invented and refers to a song by Queen drummer Roger Taylor from his 1981 "Fun In Space" album. "Babs & Babs" is a song by Robert Fripp + Daryl Hall from their 1977 "Sacred Songs" collaboration, sounds like the name of a closeout store. "515" is a song by The Who from "Quadrophenia" and along with "Number Nine" is my favorite number to utilize when needing a cool number. "Hand Painted By Real Artist" is from a Marx windowboxed "Lunar Exploration" set. The "US Space Heroes" is one of the names Payton Products used for their bagged sets of two inch MPC spaceman copies. 

Working on additional moonscapes for other backing cards, and formulating how to make painted wall boxes for individual figures to be housed within. I don't want to just show them loose on a table and do want viewers to choose an astronaut for their very own.
