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 Adam Roussopoulos on July 20, 2020 at 4:09am: De Kooning's Playground

Comment by Jenn Miltenberger on July 19, 2020 at 11:20pm: Loving the new stamps, Adam!

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on July 19, 2020 at 1:32pm: each of my driveways is graveled and thus [to my eye] less interesting although the front one has been the subject of a mailart image. Yes, Adam is quite the celebratory artistamper!

Comment by Richard Canard on July 19, 2020 at 1:28pm: 19.07 20 Dare Ficus s....You are quite right. There is also a driveway here at 409 S. Emerald Lane, Carbondale, Illusion that has a few cracks as well in the cement--but it never occurred to me to celebrate it. Adam Roussopoulos is a unique artist with multiple visions. SinCelery, Richard Canard

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on July 19, 2020 at 12:53pm: now THERE'S a driveway with character!
