The definition of artistamp is as followed:
DEFINITION OF ARTISTAMPS
The term
artistamp
(a
portmanteau
of the words "artist" and "stamp") or
artist's stamp
refers to a
postage stamp
-like art form used to depict or
commemorate
any subject its creator chooses. Artistamps are a form of
Cinderella stamps
in that they are not valid for postage, but they differ from
forgeries
or bogus
Illegal stamps
in that typically the creator has no intent to defraud
postal authorities
or
stamp collectors
.
Artistamp creators often include their work on legitimate mail, alongside valid postage stamps, in order to decorate the envelope with their art. In many countries this practice is legal, provided the artistamp isn't passed-off as or likely to be mistaken for a genuine postage stamp. When so combined (and sometimes, less strictly speaking, even when not so) the artistamp may be considered part of the
mail art
genre.
Irony
,
satire
,
humor
,
eroticism
and subversion of governmental authority are frequent characteristics of artistamps. Artists may leverage the expectation of official endorsement that necessarily inheres in governmentally-issued postage for the purpose of shocking or subverting viewers' expectations, with such actions typically representing a specific political and artistic motive. Other practitioners are content to depict more homey subjects like kittens and family members. Some artists use the form create fantasy stamps for their own
postal administrations
or
countries
– in many cases thereby developing or complementing an imaginary
governmental system
.
DEFINITION OF CINDERELLAS
In
philately
, a
cinderella stamp
is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration..."
[1]
The term also excludes
imprinted stamps
on
postal stationery
.
