“We are delighted to collaborate with Andy on this special issue,” she said.
“His work perfectly reflects the spirit of adventure and natural beauty that makes our island so extraordinary.”
Cannon said the stamps were not only a tribute to the island’s landscapes, but “an invitation to discover them for yourself”.
When North spoke to the BBC, he was in the middle of using the first of his new collection to send some post.
“It’s tough having to rip out the first stamp because the booklet is perfect,” he explained.
“But the stamps are now a physical reality, and that is wonderful.”
The 10-stamp collection will also feature the use of the Manx language, in support of Belin ny Gaelgey, the year of the Manx Language.
