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.

ps. Mike, I think your grandson may very well be the youngest stamp maker. Good show!!

Beauty. I have a friend who is a big auction freak. I have told him if any flat-bed presses come up to buy them. I will have to add perforators. :)

My grandson Thomas came for a visit a few years ago and I demonstrated how his grandfather makes artistamps. I took a photo of his head, we designed/formatted the stamp on the computer, printed the stampsheet and Thomas assited with the perforation on my antique Franklin perforator. Could he be the youngest artistamp maker?
