USStamps.com Deems Lizzie a “Notorious Figure”

For the last year, I have had for sale through my CafePress Lizzie Borden sale site a set of US Postage stamps I designed for those interested in all things Lizzie. I thought them in good taste and got many compliments on them. They are in the style of Andy Warhol.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now.
