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.

Carla Cryptic - Goodwill Ambassador
Carla Cryptic has become an Artistamp Museum Goodwill Ambassador. As many of you know she is an avid maker of artistamps and mail artist - her Web site is at www.carlacryptic.com . Carla has graciously volunteered to compile a contact list for all of the artistamp contributors we can get contact info on.

This list will include names, post name and/or pseudonym, mailing address and email address. If you contributed to the museum please contact her with your current contact information and subsequently notify her of any changes. Her email is carlacryptic@yahoo.com - make sure to put 'Artistamp Museum' in the subject line or it may get bumped by her spam filter. If you do not want to share your contact info, please let her know that also.

The list will be distributed via email so please make sure to include your email address even if you don't want it included in the list

P.S. You can see some of Berti's art on my blogpage. She is a softblock carver and artistamp maker.

Open call - Deadline: November 2010

Another Artist Turns 80
c/o Carla Cryptic
PO Box 1274
Berkeley, CA 94804
USA

This is a call on behalf of Roberta James, another artist turning 80 (in November!) - I did the first Artist Turns 80 call for my Mom about 4 years ago.

You can send artistamps on any theme which seems appropriate - either by snail mail or via email: carlacryptic@yahoo.com

I will make documentation for all who participate and will send all of the original artwork to Berti (Roberta's nickname) to honor her birthday. Themes of aging, art, changes, time, perseverence, anger, joy, etc. are all welcome.

Thanks, in advance, for your consideration!
