An artistamp (a portmanteau of the words "artist" and "stamp") or artist's stamp refers to a postage stamp-like artform. It is similar to a Cinderella stamp in that it is not valid for postage, but it differs from a forgery or a bogus stamp in that (typically) the creator has no intent to fool any post office or collector of stamps. (However, depending on how the stamp is used, it may be difficult to distinguish artistamps from local post stamps.) The artistamp is intended to be a miniature artwork which can depict or commemorate any subject its creator chooses.

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on May 11, 2012 at 10:27pm: Very clever stamp people, A series of accidents resulted in this Peace and Love stamp. The technical aspect of this mailart form daunts me a bit. Any suggestions for eliminating idiosyncratic marks on my perforations?
