!!! Ö Ö !!!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea it was you! (Obviously - three wrong guesses later!) Thank you so much for this, and now I have the reference as well. I admit I was wondering if it was real, but my short Google Street View journey wasn't giving me clues.
I changed some things and added buildings that don't exist in real life to the landscape, because Sollerön in SSSS is supposed to be more built-up and developed. I suppose that's what threw your Street View journey off course.
I also didn't publish the message side of the postcard because I wasn't certain if you wanted the message made public or not. If you're happy with it, by all means let's publish it, because the work you put in that the stamp and cancellation etc is equally stellar!
You mean this message part?
I'd upload it myself without the message, but I accidentally flattened the PSD file and can't remove the text properly.
The cancellation is just a Postnord logo in a circle, by the way - I suppose the post-Rash Swedish postal service uses that logo due to tradition.
Your gift idea and your art are both fantastic, Guardian! I didn’t want to spam the Secret Santa thread by gushing over it, so I’m glad you posted it here. Super nicely done!
Gwenno assigned wavewright to me and not you - otherwise you would have received the most fantastic idea I planned:
...a art thing about scavengers set in a post-nuclear sci-fi Middle-earth after the War of Wrath
