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 Cerulean on August 26, 2013 at 9:11pm: To Borderline Grafix: great sheet of sailboat stamps!

Comment by Corinne T. Stubson on August 26, 2013 at 8:29pm: Hello- I occasionally make my own stamps for my mixed media art. As I am relatively new to IUOMA, I am enjoying my mail art journey thoroughly!. I decided to create my own sheet of stamps (printed on self-adhesive paper),so that i can put a stamp on whatever i send out. This is the sheet I created- very simple. You are welcome to copy it if you like it. I drew the imagery and lettering by hand.Each stamp is 1 and1/8" wide by 7/8 " high.
