Congratulations George DeKornfeld
George deKornfeld has an article published in this month's "American Philatelist," magazine of the American Philatelic Society. The article explores the topic of dragons on stamps, ahead of next month's National Topical Stamp Show.
Well done, George. I enjoyed reading it.

As an Iceland collector, this has to be my favorite Dragon Stamp:
But a close second is the Jersey dragon you touched on:
Well done!
(and thanks for calling our attention to the article,Tedski!)
The layout of your article was really attractive and 'complex' - someone with a real talent for composition put that together! Kudos to them! (and to you, for giving them such neat images to work with!)
Do you have any idea where that startling image of the blue dragon came from, the one that leads off your article?? It's slightly creepy -- but cool!
But it's worth a try! Let us know what happens - if you can't access the article I can post screen shots of the pages.

"I checked with Martin on the blue dragon and he said it comes from istock photos
... I think it is a licensing / image company.
Martin said the fees for commercial use are pretty high - but just basic use for
presentations or personal use are pretty reasonable."
I also noticed that HipStamp had a full page advertisement in the first few pages of this months APS magazine offering a discount to APS readers, first time I have noticed print add for HipStamp! (going old school!)
I think kids will like these Dragon stamps . . . especially if they read George's great article first!
Here it is:
