Question: do creators of artistamps ever sell their stamps or what is "proper etiquette" of how to approach an artist about their stamps?

Originally the artistamp sheets were exchanged and no money was involved. Seems a new generation is also trying to sell sheets. The old sheets (80-ies and 90-ies) are collectors items since then computers weren't that accessible for producing artistamps.

More people were inducted into Ginny Lloyd’s Gina Lotta Post Artistamp Museum at artistampmuseum.blogspot.com:
• Harley (more)
• MIT
• Buzz Blurr
• START
• Llys Dana
• Capuano Guido
• Carl Loeffler -
• James Felter
• Mike Dickau
• John Held, Jr. and Mike Dickau.

I will also add:
Any issues old and new can potentially be collectors items since some artists limit their issues to a set number or the technique limits the numbers. It differs with each person. Some people make one of a kind pieces and other issues are by deceased artists.

Hey Ginny, Greetings,

This Computer works better than the other one in the city. I think
I donated Your Book that I was in to IOWA, for some tax thing for my
sister. Hey? how you doing... What's Harley or that guy in Chicago
doing w/ all this. P.S. Anna sez Hi. xoxo Doo Da

Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 - 4C ES-41008 Sevilla, España

Sugerencias:
El erotismo siempre ha sido uno de los motores del ser humano. ¿Sigue siéndolo en estos tiempos, le ha afectado la actual crisis mundial? Considera la opción de trabajar sobre el tema del erotismo en todas sus variantes, el tamaño del sello se adapta perfectamente al tema y resultará interesante comprobar cómo está afectando la crisis actual al erotismo en el arte postal.
==================================================================
At birth, stamps live all together in a sheet and they come away from it when they become adults...Create one or more than one stamps sheet. Any theme, any medium.The "Taller de Zenon" will send you some of his own sheets recently done and all the received stamps sheets will be exhibited in our blog.

Suggestions:
Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.

Specimen Rare stamps (photo booth style)

They look really nice PJ!
I would like to do more of them too, but perforating is such a pain, and the result is not satisfactory (at least in my hands). I found some cool scissors and craft punch but shipping to Japan is way too expensive. I'll keep looking for them.

Found some serrated scissors and they work nicely to make the border of stamps:

Tanuki Mail Pink Pink Postage Stamp

I meant think pink not pink pink, sowwwy

Tanuki Mail! Love it! Nice stamps ^_^

This has become totally addicting. I just made a commemorative stamp for my roomate getting a new job. And I now have a licky glue recipe I'm happy with.

The glue is super easy. I don't know how long it will keep, since you aren't supposed to put it in the fridge (according to the person who's recipe I modified, she said a few months). The original recipe was for envelope flaps and was for twice as much. If anyone wants that link just email me.

Licky Glue:

1 - 3oz. box Lemon Jello
2 - Knox Gelatin packets
1 cup vinegar
Lemon Extract (hope this adds more preserving power)

Bring vinegar to boil, stir in Jello and gelatin until dissolved. Don't put your face over that pot, you don't want to inhale a nose full of hot vinegar vapors.

I put it in a glass jar so that if it solidfied (cold in the house) then I could just put it on mug warmer to melt it.

I don't care so much, but found a carageenan based jello and tried it and it did not work, so there may not be a way to make this vegetarian.

So far with a sponge brush on most paper it curls a bit but doesn't get wrinkly and once it is dry i just press under a book for a bit and its back to normal. Then just perforate/cut, lick and stick!

Thank you! Those stamp sheets look like they would be great! My budget is pretty tight right now and I like making things myself so I can have more flexibility on what I can make into a stamp. These I made with small origami paper squares as a base. For my first ones I used rubber stamps on big office labels. And I just got some rolls of gold and silver metallic and hot pink contact paper (thank you $1 store) that I want to cut into little sticker stamps. I going to see what kind of stamping paint will stick to the plastic surface. oh, I am having waaaay too much fun!

oh wow those stamps are fantastic!!

HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF MY LATEST ARTISTAMP WHICH I DID FOR MY GRANDSON'S 3RD GRADE CLASS PROJECT.

MAYBE FLAT STAN WILL VISIT YOU!

Modern stamps

Flat Stanley! I remember him! ;)

Love everyone's stamps btw.

HERE IS A POSTER I DESIGNED/PRINTED FOR JOHN HELD, JR.'S DEBRIS FROM THE CULTURAL UNDERGROUND SHOW AT THE EVER GOLD GALLERY IN SAN FRANCISCO OCTOBER 2010. IT FEATURES AN ARTISTAMP SHEET I DESIGNED FOR THE OCCASION.

Add a comment? Does anarchy make you panicky? In this instance, most certainly, yes. Regards, Val
