The listing, ORIGINAL Hand Drawn & Hand Colored ATC Artist Trading Card NOT A COPY #1 has ended.
This is an ORIGINAL ATC, or Artist Trading Card, also known as an ACEO, which stands for Artists Cards Editions & Originals. The ten ACEO is usually used when cards are sold, whereas ATC would apply when they are being traded. Nit sure where Listia falls, so I am just giving you both names.:-) They always have to be the same size as a baseball card, which is 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". Do you can use all the pages and other supplies to display your cards. I Mod Podge mine to the fridge. Not sure what I'll do if it quits......
This card is number one in a series where I was experimenting with a different color pallet than I usually use. So far I have two cards done. I will always draw, but nothing I do well EVER look the same.
These are the ORIGINALS, they are not copies, and I did not scan them to make copies. The photos in this listing are not good enough to make copies from. SOOO... You will have an original piece of my art, signed and dated, that will NEVER be reproduced. If I ever get famous, you might get rich.......LOL
These are drawn on regular artist paper, in my notebook. After I have drawn the basic design with a permanent black pen, I sometimes go back and color them, as I did with the 2 I am listing today. After I am satisfied with the colors I take the page out of my notebook out decide which part gets to be the ATC,(it's a small notebook, only 4x6) all of the the scraps get saved in my collage box. I don't throw a lot out.
I hope you enjoy this little piece of my soul, which at really is. I find it relaxing, meditative, and refreshing. Each ATC takes between one and two hours, which is sometimes like therapy for me. My housemate have been known to sit me down at my table and tell Me to draw or write. This all started from watching my momma doodling on envelopes and things when I was small.
Have a great day, and good luck
