A fantasy stamp is a stamp issued for a place that exists only in the imagination. Fantasies and bogus stamps (unreal stamps made for real places) have been around since the mid-1800's thanks to the inventiveness of forgers like S. Allan Taylor. Fantasies remain alive and well in the late 1900's in the work of creators of modern private local posts worldwide and in the Artistamp and Cyberstamp movements.

Thus I too try my hand. The stamps are mine; the places were born in the minds of others. None have been printed (yet); they exist only in cyberspace, but they look better when not so highly compressed for speedy download. I hope you enjoy my creations for the following realms of the imagination.

• Niniltna, a place in the fiction of Alaskan mysteries.
   
• Orlando Local Post, a revival of a retired post.
   
• Planet Xuxa, a place in the imagination of Children's TV.
  UPDATED May 9, 1999: now with six pages of stamps!
   
• Miscellaneous, a catch-all-else category.

I'm not the only one posting cyberstamps for viewing:

• See from where Stefano and Caspar think there should be stamps.

Get a taste of the world of Artistamps. These are supposed to be works of art that look like stamps. There are many that I think look like neither. But taste is personal, so start with these Artistamp Galleries and surf on from there.
