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 Ann Golden on July 21, 2020 at 2:58am: Love the cracked pavement images. I have just been exploring the work of a Fukase ,a Japanese photographer , perhaps best known for his work Ravens, but in his last years he also did a series of cracked pavement images overlaid with painted scribbles. I was also contemplating illustrating a quote about dandelions springing to attention and looking for images of them pushing through concrete as a symbol of persistence and / or resistance.Then there were your artistamps, a lovely ,serendipitous surprise.

Comment by Michelangelo Mayo on July 20, 2020 at 10:08am: I received my copy of Adam's review- thanks
