Arnold Machin's portrait of the Queen is on billions of postage stamps. An artist in Machin's home area of Staffordshire has put Machin's portrait on a stamp - or rather, a stamp-like design made of ceramic shards.
Sean Sargent, an art student, wants more people to know that Machin was from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, so he created his artwork featuring Machin's portrait in a pose somewhat similar to Queen Elizabeth's. He made it of pieces of ceramic tile, a recognition of Machin's achievements as a sculptor.
More information is on the Staffordshire University site here.
