This is a lovely pictorial cover sent by Brian from Hong Kong, with a $2.40 stamp from a series called "Hong Kong in My Eyes". The stamp was drawn by TAN Ying-yun and is cancelled by the day of issue postmark, and sent on the official first day cover (21 October 2010). To complete the postage there is the definitive white-bellied sea eagle stamp as well.

FDC from Austria
An FDC sent to me on the date of issue from Vienna by Florian. Thank you! Koloman Moser was an important figure in the Austrian art world at the turn of the 20th century. A very versatile artist associated with Austrian modern (and the names like Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt), he also designed stamps as well as books, stained glass and furniture.
The stamp has a nice Art Noveau retro-feel and I think the whole FDC is very well designed.
