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.

Please feel free to download and plaster on your sent mailart if you desire!

Comment by Michelangelo Mayo on May 22, 2024 at 9:05pm: Here is a art postcard that I made with my cat artistamp that went to Finland.

I discovered this free website for postcard exchanges (Postcrossing.com). This site helpful to send my artistamps randomly to other people not necessarily doing mail art and to receive great stamps and postcards from many different countries. I consider this my artistic outreach to inspire people to explore mail art.
