Year of the Snake 2013 Stamps II

Hello friends. Sorry if I have been away so long. I know there are few collectors who are really waiting to get another compilation of snake stamps 2013 from different countries. This time Im showing snake stamps from Philippines, Turks and Caicos, Papua New Guinea, Togo, Antigua and Barbuda.

Philippines

I dont want to offend anybody but I really think Philippines stamps have poor designs. I'm a person who loves art and somehow most of the Philippine stamps really disappoints me. Im so affected because Im a Filipino and I know I have all the reasons why I should be proud of my own.













I dont know what's the reason of choosing yellow as a background if it has something to do with feng shui or snakes but I think it's kinda feeble.  Each stamp has a flamboyant snake with different rainbow colors. Yet, it is quite irritating to look at and the white space makes it looks empty.

Papua New Guinea

I don't really have much to say about this snake stamp from Papua New Guinea. All I know is that it was issued as early as June 18, 2012. Please correct if I'm wrong.

Antigua and Barbuda 

This is one of my favorite 2013 year of the snake stamps. This stamp from Antigua looks so simple, neat, and attractive. The white space gives emphases to the snake. It looks incomplex yet clean.  It's date of issue is unknown to me yet.

Turks and Caicos

The snake stamp from Turks and Caicos is also a good one. Using a real snake image on the stamps make the stamps look more attractive and realistic.

Togo

Here's another one from Togo.  I dont know what to say with these stamps. They look so dull to me.
