At the Post Office
Q: Are these real postage
stamps?
A: No. These prints are an art form that
people collect and display for their own pleasure. Some folks
also enjoy gluing separate stamps on special letters to
friends.
Q: Are they legal?
A: Yes, but they are not a legal substitute
for real postage. If you glue one of the bonus
artistamps that come with each print on a letter, make
sure to use a matching real stamp too. The Feds aren't known
for their sense of humor.
Q: What do the people who work at the Post
Office think about Art Gone Postal?
A: They really get a kick out of it. Three
times now I've been asked to exhibit my Artistamp Prints in
the main post office in St. Petersburg, Florida. They did ask
me not to display the prints containing nudity, but they
seemed to appreciate the political and social satire. Except
for maybe my Snail Mail print.
