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 yves maraux on November 26, 2009 at 10:49am: The proliferation of absolute perfection of the hero, so hopeless, will comply with the divine and providential justice of Némésis against the toy of the invention of an oedipian fate.

La proliferazione dell'assoluta perfezione dell'eroe, così esasperata, si piegherà alla giustizia divina e provvidenziale della Nemesi contro il giocattolo dell'invenzione di una fatalità edipica.

Die Wucherung absolut wird sich Vollendung des Helden, die so verzweifelt ist, um die göttliche und schicksalhafte Gerechtigkeit von Némésis gegen das Spielzeug der Erfindung eines ödipalen Verhängnisses biegen.
