"Speaking to Today,
Boston-based illustrator Dale Stephanos opened up about the upcoming
stamp honoring White’s life. 'It’s just a great photo — a sweet spot in
her older years,' Stephanos said. 'I just kind of used that as reference
and then kind of changed the colors and tried to make it more handmade
than a photo would be.'
"The stamp sees White in a stylized portrait, dressed in purple instead of the red that she wore in the original photo, to reflect a protest of sort that Stephanos saw in White’s career and attitude.
"'Purple is the color of protest. She had such a positive personality.
She never seemed angry, even though protest is a form of anger,' said
Stephanos." -- Coming Soon
