Canada Post Issues 9 stamps
celebrating the CFL 100th Grey Cup Game,
as illustrated by Ron Dollekamp.
I’d like to thank Bensimon Byrne, The Canadian Football League,
and Canada Post for giving me the honour of illustrating
these beautiful stamps that commemorate the CFL’s 100th Anniversary.
From what I understand, it was the highest budget stamp set
yet produced by Canada Post. They’re also selling postcards,
embossed stamps, and framed limited edition autographed prints.

Ron’s remarkable drawing ability revealed itself by age four, and he was a published illustrator while still in high school.
At 21, he was hired on at a small design firm, and then spent the next decade working as a Graphic Designer and Art Director for different agencies. Computer generated art had not yet become prevalent, and he became very skilled at quickly rendering ad concepts with markers, sometimes cranking out 3 or 4 a day! Ron’s reputation as being ‘fast’ stems directly from this experience.
In 1991 he decided to try his hand at illustration again, and split his time between this and design for awhile, until illustration won out and became his full time occupation.
Having spent the last 20 years as an illustrator, Ron has become equally adept at traditional and digital modes. Most of his work appears on packaging and advertising.
Some of Ron’s other passions include backpacking, landscape painting, photography, and gardening.
Ron lives on a quiet ravine in the east end of Toronto with his wife Cynthia, where they often see deer, coyotes, foxes, and many other critters coming by to snoop around.
