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.

Hello,

I'm posting this because many of you participated in the successful Photobooth Performance project or you may be a book collector. The free ground shipping code is ending for this book and the artistamp catalogs too (or any of my Lulu books). The code is WHOASHIPPING. My discount prices will last through Feb 7th. Let me know what you think about the books. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/ginnylloyd

Thanks,

Ginny

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Gina Lotta Post Artistamp Museum and the blog. So many of you are both contributors and followers; I am grateful for your generous support of this project.


This month the two volume catalog is now available both in print copies and in the more affordable downloadable versions. There are full color reproductions of all postings in the online blog. The attention getting color cover showcases many of the works in the museum too. Both print volumes have entered the Library of Congress and are located in the serials section. A third volume is planned from the second volume’s cut-off date as the museum grows.

For this release I am offering generous discounts through February 7 on all versions before I market them at full price. A small thank you to everyone here. Shipping is worldwide.

Lastly, if you haven’t noticed there is a Donate button on the site that takes you to PayPal. This is here because my expenses for archival climate controlled storage and archival materials have been paid out of pocket but have increased to the point of stretching my budget beyond limits. This button is targeted at the many visitors to the site who may not be artistamp makers but would like to contribute something to keep this project going. And artists too have made donations with encouraging words. A suggested donation of $12.00 is a good start although a $1.00 would not be rejected.

To locate the catalogs go to http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/ginnylloyd

Thanks, Ginny


P.S.: If you are affiliated with an institution such as an archive, library, museum or gallery, please let them know of the catalogs’ release and encourage them to purchase a copy. It will help us all as more people get to see this work.
