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.

Well that large type is a bit overwhelming - just couldn't get it out.

 

This is an open call for photos of artistampers. It can be a stand alone photo or part of your stamps. Please post them at the Gina Lotta Post Artistamp Museum's new Facebook Page. They'll become part of the museum collection so be sure to describe your post.

 

If you do not use Facebook, please mail your photo to: PO Box 1424, Jupiter, FL 33468

Thank you for your support of this museum and the blog. So many of you are followers, In February I added photos and a video of “Snowfall Mail Art - Fluxus Score with Stamps” by Andrew Oleksiuk Performed at Chicago Fluxfest – 2011. This is a fun performance and you should take a look if you haven’t seen it.

 

An effort was made to compile a contact list for all of the artistamp contributors but this became an overwhelming project in of itself and has been put on an indefinite hold. If you are looking for artists' addresses or wish to get into contact with anyone you can use Fraenz Frisch's address list at http://www.mailart.lu/adressen.htm This resource has the mechanism to update contact changes and is devoted to this purpose.

Hi all!

I recently ran across a few places online from which one may learn or buy products for, the making of sheets of artistamps. While none of my group have tried this process before, and most remainuninterested, I myself would love to begin this process.

Could there be a primer, or tutorial online which I might find useful? I'm particularly interested in using PSE8 as the main tool. 

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Rose

Major additions and updates in the PAGES section have taken place since the last notice went out. You can find links, historical articles, and artist works info.
