Canadian editorial cartoonist Alan King became a stamp illustrator

I just found this today, so I don't know what he created.

Obit: Alan King was an editorial cartoonist, self-taught artist, classical pianist

The Ottawa Citizen's longtime editorial cartoonist, Alan King once described his craft as the "scruffy offspring of art and journalism."

"After the Citizen [in 1998], King reinvented himself as a commercial illustrator, designing coins for the Royal Canadian Mint and stamps for Canada Post. In 2013, he moved to Toronto and embraced new challenges in web design and digital art.

Here's one project that he was credited on.
