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 Christopher Skinner on July 24, 2012 at 9:22pm: Thankyou both for your comments!

I have been using a perforating wheel for my stamps up until now but have just bought a nifty steel perforating screen so I should be able to replicate 'proper' stamp perforations if it works as well as the guy in the shop said it does!

The images I am posting here are applied digitally to a blank stamp template though - I thought they looked a bit bit more presentable that way!
