BAUDHUIN SIMON PIG DADA ARTISTAMPS LEMON MAIL ART 20 x 30 cm 2005
I think you'll find that is a bogus stamp (but some philatelists think artistamps are bogus). For years certain philatelic scammers have produced 'collectable' stamps in the names of poor or disputed administrations who are unlikely to prosecute. There were several featuring Monica Lewinsky supposedly from Abkhazia, .
The world of artistamps is, so I have found, generally free of the silliness attached to mainstream politics but I notice that there are a growing number of Trump stamps about. They are unanimously 'anti', as one would expect, but, I ask myself, what about the 'pro' Trumpers? Surely there must be a stamp or two for the other side? In answer to myself I post an image of a stamp, apparently a real one, from 2016; A wonderfully pompous creation that, I am hoping, is meant to be ironic (but I doubt it). Imagine it on some mail! How are we meant to satirize such a creature? If only we humble arty-types could have access to the necessary technology and resources so as to make such lavish productions ourselves. Dream on people, dream on.
Carolyn, of course I missed an obvious source for the 2 cents you wanted - clip it from a stamp (preferably a used one) then the theme of 'collage' and 'mail' carries through everything. Keep at it. . .
You make it sound like a chore Carolyn - it is supposed to be a pleasure. You could just use pen and ink - or pencil even - though not a biro. For heavens sake, not a biro! Whatever you do, practice first before you mark the originals. . .
Several options come to mind: rubber stamps might work if you have some or, perhaps better still, grab your scissors and head for a pile of magazines.
Other than that you could add the type with a computer gizmo such as 'paint' or, if you really wanted to collage, type what you want to put into the computer , print it out whatever size is needed, then cut and paste . . .
I'm sure other people will have suggestions too.
