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 Jan Hodgman on May 19, 2016 at 2:21am: Great design, Enrique! Best of luck with your new releases. I'd love to receive the artistamp(s). Something will come back to you.

Comment by enrique fernandez pastor on May 18, 2016 at 7:12am: Hi everyone!

My first artistamp sheet!. It conmemorates the release of three new songs by my rock band, Bigote Ballena.

The image you can see in the artistamp is our mini Ep,s cover.

The graphic design has been developed by Gonzalo Azores and me, in Tos Estudio, Madrid.

If anyone interested in receiving one of this unique artistamps, just send me a message. It won´t be the only stuff you´ll receive.

And the most curious can listen to our songs for free in the next link:

Best regards from Madrid

Comment by ginny lloyd on March 10, 2016 at 2:30pm: NASA is calling all space enthusiasts to send their artistic endeavors on a journey aboard NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft. This will be the first U.S. mission to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth for study. Send Your Artwork on a Journey to the Stars http://www.asteroidmission.org/WeTheExplorers/ deadline march 20th =
you can send your artistamps (or anything) on this mission – a REAL mission not an art conceptual project. Only one file/submission per each person.

Also send a print copy of your artistamp submission to GLPost Artistamp Museum . If enough artistamps about this mission come into the GLPost Artistamp Museum I’ll create a special section for them to be housed in the museum.
