The Artist Series is an ongoing collaboration between Plazm’s Portland Stamp Company and invited designers, artists, and writers who create original poster stamp designs. All Artist Series stamps are in a signed, limited edition of 100, printed on lickable, gummed paper, and pinhole perforated by hand on our vintage machines. 

Artistamp No. 9: Christina Seely

Internationally renowned photographer Christina Seely uses the power of image to create awareness and deepen understanding around global environmental issues. Artistamp No. 9, a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, is a new extension of her Next of Kin project. Read more in our interview. 

Artistamp No. 10: Malia Jensen

Portland based artist Malia Jensen creates her first stamp — a printed provocation. The stamps are part of her “Changing Money” series. Read more in our interview. Her artist stamp is an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet featuring Ruth Bader Ginsberg, sized perfectly to replace Alexander Hamilton on the ten dollar bill. 

Artistamp No. 11: Charles Wilkin

Charles Wilkin is an artist, designer, and beekeeper. His grandfather was a letter carrier, this is his first stamp. Read more about his stamp in our short interview. In the mid-90s he designed many pages in Plazm magazine and we sold some of his typefaces too. It’s great to collaborate with him again in a new way.
