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 El Taller de Zenon on August 18, 2011 at 7:20pm: FRIENDS ARTISTAMPS CREATORS
REMINDER:

http://artistampstz.blogspot.com/

At birth, stamps live all together in a sheet and they come away from it when they become adults...Create one or more than one stamps sheet. Any theme, any medium.The "Taller de Zenon" will send you some of his own sheets recently done and all the received stamps sheets will be exhibited in this blog. Size: A4 or A5. Any medium. Deadline:
*THE DATE LIMIT IS ENLARGED UNTIL DRAINING THE EDITIONS
Any theme (See some suggestions)

Send to:
Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón
C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 - 4C
ES-41008 Sevilla, España

Suggestions:
Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.
