US stamp of Bucky Fuller

Bucky Fuller stampIn July, the US Post Office will issue a Buckminster Fuller stamp featuring an old Time magazine cover illustration by the late great Boris Artzybasheff. Link

Mark sez: The picture of the geodesic dome on the stamp is NOT a dodecahedron/bucky ball. The standard dome starts out as a twenty-side polygon, whose points come together in "fives" not sixes. In between the five-star points, there are 6-star points, but there should be at least 20 five-start points over the whole sphere. The artist seems to have just tiled the sphere with hexagons which results in just six-star points, which ain't right. The only reason I recognized this is that I'm building a dome for burningman right now!
