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.

I like artistamps and I'm currently making some new editions. If you send me yours I'll do the same. Please include a note as to whether you have an archive, museum, gallery, etc. and how long you've been making artistamps. Any other related info you wish to include is appreciated.

I will add yours to my archive started in the late 70's and will show in my Artistamp Gallery. Open themes.
