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.

NASA is calling all space enthusiasts to send their artistic endeavors on a journey aboard NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft. This will be the first U.S. mission to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth for study. Send Your Artwork on a Journey to the Stars http://www.asteroidmission.org/WeTheExplorers/ deadline march 20th =
you can send your artistamps (or anything) on this mission – a REAL mission not an art conceptual project. Only one file/submission per each person.

Also send a print copy of your artistamp submission to GLPost Artistamp Museum . If enough artistamps about this mission come into the GLPost Artistamp Museum I’ll create a special section for them to be housed in the museum.

The first set of artistamps I'd ever made. Based on some photograms I had printed in the darkroom.

Alexander Kholopov - RUSSIA - 1948 to 2016

The art of Alexander Kholopov can be seen as an example of the
finest work emerging from Mail Art.  His many innovative projects
produced work that reflected his command of composition and color,
mirroring an active intellect and imagination.  The richness of his
imagery gave us a unique vision of the world in which he lived.
Sasha was a fine artist and a generous friend who will be sadly
missed by the International Mail Art community. 
Written by Harley and image by Steve Smith.

If you would like to make a commemorative sheet or single stamp it can be added to the museum post. Deadline: March 31st.
