Stamps The United States Postal Service has hired Stabin to design a number of stamps. He created a Henry Mancini stamp in 2003 which led to him being hired again in 2005 this time to create four of the American scientists series stamps: physicist Richard Feynman, thermodynamicist Willard Gibbs, geneticist Barbara McClintock and mathematician John von Neumann. He was again hired by the USPS in 2008 and created the artwork for stamps depicting four more American scientists—theoretical physicist John Bardeen, biochemist Gerty Cori, astronomer Edwin Hubble and chemist Linus Pauling. A monthly version of ''Daedal Doodle is published in ICON under the title "Alliteration of the Month".

Now called the Stabin Morykin Building, it includes the Victor Stabin Gallery, an art workshop space, and Cafe Arielle restaurant. The galleries currently house the work of Stabin as well as that of his students.
