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 9, 2012 at 9:26pm: FIRST TIMER!

Hi, this is my first post here. I have been playing around with stamp designs for some time now, and not doing anything with them, so I have begun to sort them out and share them here...

This came out of a separate project featuring some of my favourite authors.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Comment by Rebecca Guyver on May 11, 2012 at 9:27pm: Very clever stamp people, A series of accidents resulted in this Peace and Love stamp. The technical aspect of this mailart form daunts me a bit. Any suggestions for eliminating idiosyncratic marks on my perforations?
