Derek is taking part in Witham's first art trail
Derek Miller has designed stamps for 33 years and is now displaying some of his paintings and stamps in the window of Kempco in the Newlands Shopping Centre, Witham.
"I'm not allowed to reproduce the actual artwork for stamps, so I have illustrated some of the 5,000 stamps I've designed in the past," he said.
Derek has produced artwork for stamps in some 89 countries from around the world.
His work depicting Princess Diana at the time of her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981 and following her death in 1997 created a large amount of recognition for Derek.
"I am quite well known internationally and I have been trying to find a way to do local pictures and link them with stamps," said Derek.

He has produced a drawing of a church in Wickham Bishops and other local buildings, and has had stamps made of the paintings.
"The owner of Kempco rang me up and asked if I would like to display in his shop window. I think it is nice to be able to put something up for a local display," he said.
The Three Towns Trail runs from 3, July until 18, July 2010.
