A Journey Through Global Storytelling, One Postcard at a Time
Postcard collecting, a timeless hobby cherished for its blend of nostalgia, artistry, and cultural exploration, is experiencing a creative renaissance with the launch of a new collection: "Do You Recognize the Story?" This unique series invites collectors and story lovers alike to embark on a global adventure through 50 of the world’s most beloved tales and legends, ranging from Sinbad and Aladdin to Santa Claus, Don Quijote, and Nils Holgersson.
A Collection Without Names - A Challenge for the Curious
What sets "Do You Recognize the Story?" apart is its playful twist: each postcard features a stunning, AI-generated illustration inspired by a famous story or legend, but the card itself offers no title or hint. Collectors are challenged to identify the tale depicted, transforming the act of collecting into an interactive guessing game. This approach not only makes each card a conversation starter but also adds an extra layer of excitement and engagement for enthusiasts.
A Curated Selection from Across the Globe
The selection process for the stories was meticulous and modern-leveraging the vast resources of the internet to ensure a diverse and representative mix of legends from various nations and cultures. From the swashbuckling adventures of Sinbad and the magical escapades of Aladdin, to the heart-warming origins of Santa Claus and the literary journeys of Don Quijote and Nils Holgersson, the collection spans continents and centuries. This global perspective allows collectors to explore the shared motifs and unique flavours of storytelling traditions worldwide.
Artistry Enhanced by Artificial Intelligence
Each postcard in the series is a miniature work of art, crafted using multiple AI graphic tools. These technologies enable the creation of vivid, imaginative, and sometimes surreal interpretations of classic tales, offering fresh visual perspectives even on stories that are centuries old. The result is a set of cards that are not only collectible but also visually captivating-a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
