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 Alan Brignull on May 21, 2020 at 1:28pm: An ingenious sheet of 'garden hose on grass' stamps from Adam Roussopoulos. Almost asemic writing?

Comment by William M on May 20, 2020 at 6:58am: Eye stamps. My latest set of completely rubber stamped artistamps.

Comment by Richard Canard on May 19, 2020 at 4:55pm: 19.05.20 Dare Ficus S. & William M., ....yes, I do seem to recall hearing about that "cow jumping over the moon" very, very early on--- but I never expected to actually see it. Ms. Diana Hale is an exquisite collagist. Sin Celery, Richard C.
