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 Carla Cryptic on April 18, 2009 at 10:22pm: De nada, Samuel... Pensé debe ser algo que usted se hizo puesto que pienso que las máquinas son duras de fijar algo que complejo. Besos,

Carla

Comment by Samuel Montalvetti on April 18, 2009 at 10:00pm: Carla

Gracias por tus palabras, aunque debo decirte que las perforaciones son ficticias, me gustaría poder tener una de esas maquinitas que estan en el catalogo, pero parece que en la argentina no se consiguen.........
unos besos

Comment by Carla Cryptic on April 18, 2009 at 9:46pm: Hola Miguel - no stamp sheet from me yet? Sigh.

Great stamp sheet Jan-Willem - saw it on your blog. :)

Celestino - is this an annual publication? How can we participate or is it invitation only?

Gik and Roland - It also reminds me of Brancusi! But unique also. :)

I sent it to El Taller de Zenon. I punched the holes manually.

Comment by Gik Juri on April 15, 2009 at 8:17pm: Good artistamp, Roland! It's remembered me Brancusi sculptures, I don't know why.
