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.

Adam McCauley’s Monster Stamps
Illustrator Adam McCauley won a gold award at the Society of Illustrator’s annual exhibit for his clever monster stamps. From Dracula to Godzilla, each creature’s stamp is related to their city of origin.
