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.

Found some '90s stamps that thought it would be appropriate to make some reprints. Happy to share. Top-to-bottom: Jürgen Olbrich, Arturo Fallico, Stephen Perkins (or was John Held Jr. the original?), and 2 rows of Crackerjack (Chuck Welch).

New artistamps, commemorating those wacky Neoists and all their controversy: Monty Cantsin and Karen Eliot. Dig into them at least on Wikipedia if you're not familiar with their pranks. We need more of this now! Thanks as always to Adam R.!

I decided I didn't like the sewing tracing marker wheel tool I recently bought. it just didn't give a nice postage stamp edge to the paper. I already have a couple of craft die cutters that cut out a small grid of perforated stamps of small stamp size, these are good for tiny image rubber stamps I have. but I really wanted a perforator so I could create bigger stamps and larger stamp grids. I just found a perfect item on Etsy as built and sold byhttps://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/workshopHarlamov?ref=nla_listing_details he seems a popular seller for these items

after creating some small artist amps that will fit on my envelopes, I decided to create a couple of larger variations in a sheet with limited numbers of ten of each sheet. is anyone interested in trading for them? they are not self adhesive.
