Hamilton Stampede | Hamilton Artists Inc.

An illustrated postage stamp that reads: Hamilton Stampede, July 4th, 3-9pm, SAVE THE DATE. In the center a construction worker in hi-vis and a hard hat rides a hot dog with horse legs down the center of James Street North. A pink donut is in their right hand. To the left is the Inc's building, with a tree, garbage can and Sahra Soudi's mural "we need each other today, we needed each other yesterday, we'll need each other tomorrow." The buildings on James street converge in a central vanishing point.
