National Moth Week (actually a misnomer, as it is celebrated in
several countries) is an annual event that runs from 18-26 July. The following Mothstralian stamps are my modest contribution. All feature the mysterious masked Moth Women who several years ago began life in my paintings, drawings, prints and
one of my early fairy tales, then morphed into the far less pretty and polite Moth Woman Vigilantes (AKA the MWV).
As
previously documented on these pages, the reputed aim of the MWV is to overthrow the perpetually dysfunctional Ruling Party of the Penal Colony of Australia and establish a nation in which all are equal, that celebrates diversity and maintains an open-wing policy to political refugees. (This echoes the rallying cry of the Mothstralian Apolitical Party: 'Open Doors, Open Wings, Open Minds and Open Hearts!')
Furthermore (in stark comparison to the current regime) if any member of the MWV needs to
fly to a conference - or anywhere else, for that matter - she will use her own set of wings. Here alone (for those whose vision doesn't extend past their purse strings) the savings to taxpayers will be incalculable.
The stamps from this series will shortly appear in a new mini-zine. To preview the zine, visit Moth Woman Press
