With nearly 20 years on the market,World of Warcrafthas a robust community full of talented artists. TwoWorld of Warcraftfans just showed off some of their latest work–an adorable set of postage stamps themed after the floating Azerothian mage-city of Dalaran.
The stamps themselves were designed by graphic design and illustrator Sam Gartell and showcased by his partner, character and merchandise artist Charlotte Bell, who goes by Pokepaws on Twitter and Reddit. While the two artists have their own separate works, they collaborate together on many art projects as well.

The stickers are bright and vibrant, and they look just like real postage stamps. Featuring the Eye of Dalaran, the stamps look like they came straight out of thesecret mailroom inWorld of Warcraft. While the stickers are not legal to use in place of a real stamp, they can be used to decorate water bottles, folders, laptops, or anything else one can slap a sticker on. The vinyl stickers are also waterproof and scratchproof.
Bell and Gartel have created all sorts of artwork together. Beyond cute stickers ofWarcraftcharacters, like the newDragonflightduck and the infamous gnoll Hogger, they also sell travel posters of various locations inWorld of Warcraft. While much of their gear is fromWorld of Warcraft, they also have art fromPokemonandValheim, as well as plenty of adorable original work. Their full collection of stickers, posters, and more can be found on their Etsy, UrsocsDen.
World of Warcraftfans who saw Gartel’s work instantly fell in love with it. They immediately asked if he was planning on making stickers for other majorWarcraftcities like Stormwind or Orgrimmer. Another fan suggested the stickers come with a letter recounting Rhonin’s infamous “Citizens of Dalaran” speech–awell-knownWorld of Warcraftmeme.
