Selman is a Brooklyn-based brand identity and design studio founded in 2013. Its founder, Johnny Selman, believes design carries ethical responsibility and can bring urgency, empathy, and clarity to pressing issues like injustice, climate change, and political divides. Designers, he says, can “distill big ideas into something people immediately connect with,” helping important topics rise above the noise.

A new project is a good case in point. The Pease Post is a series of digital stamps honoring peace advocates from every sovereign nation. The goal: spotlight individuals who stand for peace in a world marked by abuse, oppression, and war.

The collection will debut Saturday, September 6, 2025, at The International Peace Museum in Dayton, Ohio, before traveling to museums, libraries, and schools across the U.S.

"The stories that permeate our newsfeed have become increasingly dark lately. Abuse, discrimination, oppression, violence, and war are global problems that all countries and people face. In an effort to shine a light on some of the individuals who stand against injustice and advocate for peace, we decided to create a series of digital stamps featuring portraits of these heroes, one for each sovereign nation."

"At the beginning of the project, these portraits were done mainly by designers who worked at Selman. As the project progressed, we began to commission portraits from illustrators in the countries where the advocate was from, which added incredible authenticity. The final collection is wonderfully diverse in style and medium. We have painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, printmaking, and a nice mix of digital and analog."
