I always assumed they were by Dixon himself.

  ???  These stamps are from 2019. Was it before or after the Schleich figure?


DinoToyForum

Wow, they are identical. Another important consideration - did the artwork exist elsewhere prior to being featured on a stamp?

This seems to be a photomanipulation, the image on the stamp seems to align almost perfectly with the promo picture for the Dracorex. So I'd assume some time after the Dracorex was revealed.


DinoToyForum

Yes, that would be my suspicion as well: the 'artwork' is essentially the stock photo.



CityRaptor

Wouldn't be the first time. I've seen plenty of stamps doing that. Often those come from African countries, and Congo is one.

All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend

I saw this Todd Marshall Neovenator piece in the Mojo fun thread:


It seems to have been the inspiration behind the Favorite Neovenator.

Honestly it looks like none of the artwork there is by the same artist; there's a very Luis Rey Amargasaurus hanging out down the bottom and the submerged Opthalmosaurus in the stamp is basically the WWD toy.
