2021 “Otters in Snow” Forever Stamps 100pcs

On October 12, 2021, the USPS released the Otters in Snow Forever stamps in Otter, Montana. This booklet of 20 stamps features four different scenes of the alert and playful North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) reveling in winter’s white landscape. The original illustrations were rendered in pen and ink with watercolor, in a color palette consisting of shades of brown for the otters, with black facial features and crosshatching. The wintry background is white, with blue water, light blue and violet shadows, and black crosshatching. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamps with artwork from illustrator John Burgoyne.

Designs: Four digital illustrations depicting scenes of North American river otters in snowy settings.
