Description

The listing, CREATURE CARD #2 ARTIST TRADING CARD EDITION! ORIGINAL ARTWORK BY RHONDA CHASE ( ACEO ) has ended.

This auction is for Creature card #2 in the ATC edition of Creature Cards. It was created the day it was posted. This card is the standard regulation size of 2.5" x 3.5". It is done in graphite on Smooth Bristol Paper 100lb.

My goal is to spread art around the globe and what better place then here, at what better price then free! I will attempt to make and post a new card every day for the whole year! I encourage the winning bidder to give the creature a name if they like :) (and any other information about the character such as gender, scale and any other defining attributes they choose) Thanks for looking! I appreciate your comments and your time. I always fan back :)

Here is information on Artist Trading Cards from Strathmore:
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade, and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. It is a great way to meet other artist and share your fork. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5"
How did the movement start?
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss Artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. After that , the movement took off as other artists organized major "swap" events! Today, there are ATC swaps in almost ever major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
How do I create ATC's?
Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. Art can be original, limited edition or series. Artists should include the following information on the back of the card: name, contact information, title of piece, and number if it is part of an edition or series. ATCs are traded not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions or Originals.

The Sock Monster

Something steels my sock at night,
I know not where it goes.
For when I wake by morning's light,
I see my right foot toes.
I hear him sneak and creep around,
as I go to sleep.
I feel him pull and tug my sock and:
swear I hear a BEEP!
But as I think more clearly now,
a beep is not the sound.
In fact I am quite certain,
of where my sock is bound.

For it was not a Beep I heard.

but one gigantic.......

BURP!!!!

Have you thought about taking your art to Saturday Market?
It's so awesome, I am sure you'd sell a bunch down there.

Thanks. This venture into the cards is a new thing for me. I specialize in realistic portrait work, and generally do commissions. I haven't been to a Saturday market since 2009. It's hard to manage as a single mother, but perhaps one day when the kids get older I'll be able to do it again :)

I haven't read his work since I was young but I always loved it! And the pictures were so great as well. It was the first thing I thought of when I read your poem :)
