Otto Sherman: Otto David Sherman was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in 1936. He dreamed of being a graphic designer since he was 13. His parents supported his dream and the world famous graphic and iconic logo designer Paul Rand became the teenager‘s mentor. In 1975 he discovered old metal plated images, that he used to produce rubber stamps and hence became a mail artist. The next step was to incorporate actual postage stamps which became his “confessions of nations”. It was only natural that he should discover that medals and coins were statements of nations as well – usually their heroics, their triumphs no matter what atrocity or hypocrisy they might perpetrate. All nations celebrate heinous leaders, so he made it his task to make it obvious that all rogue rulers must rule. *************************************************************************************************** If you are interested in purchasing anything you see on this blog, please send an email to ottosherman75@gmail.com or call (646)-322-4526.
