The Knoxville Sunsphere was built for the 1982 World's Fair and stands 26 stories tall. Each pane of glass is made with 24-karat gold, giving the reflective gold color. The Observation Deck features a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. I painted the mural inside with my art honors class back in my teens.

The Sunsphere stands proudly alongside other famous icons constructed specifically for World’s Fairs, most notably the Eiffel Tower (1889 World’s Fair) and the Seattle Space Needle (1962 World’s Fair). Both of which have stamps.

Trivia wise:

• The Sunsphere was featured on The Simpsons episode “Bart on the Road” as the “Wigsphere”.

• The Rubik’s Cube made its debut at the 1982 World’s Fair. The world’s largest Rubik’s Cube, a gift from the Hungarian government, is on display inside the Knoxville Convention Center.

The version of the stamp I've designed features Dogwood blossoms, a tree native to my area. Every year there is a celebration of artists called the Dogwood Arts Festival which is held in the old fairgrounds around the Sunsphere.

While I left it unfinished until it's reviewed, I would happily finish it to Slowly standards if accepted.
