| ARTIST COVERS |
With Artist Designed Personalized Stamps |
|
"Covers" - postal material - have been collected for centuries. Those with affixed postage were specifically gathered when they were postmarked on the
first day of issue or on a special occasion such as first flight for an airmail delivery route, opening
of a bridge or an event in space. "Cachets" with printed information and illustrations were often added to the left side of the envelope to enhance the event and to make the cover more attractive to collectors. An entire industry was developed to nurture and supply collectors. Covers were often printed in the tens of thousands, postmarked and distributed. Occasionally collectors created their own personally designed "Cachet" for covers. Now artist are awakening to the use of personalized postage which has become available and can be used to show off their art and share with friends and like minded collectors. There are already hundreds of art stamps designed by artist and sold by companies like Endicia.Com, Zazzle and Stamps.Com.
