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 Ruud Janssen on January 18, 2009 at 2:58pm: Jas W. Felter also published this. Maybe try to ask Jas W. Felter in Canada about details. His website also hosts part o the mail-interviews I published, so the links are easy to find.
