Artist's Trading Cards

Thu Jun 18, 2009, 1:09 AM
Let's go ATC trading, guys ...

There seem to be only two basic rules:
(1) Size is 6cm by 9cm (either portrait or landscape orientation)
(2) Cards are never sold, but always traded

And two guidelines:
(1) Each card is ideally a one-off original - ie preferably no multiple reproductions
(2) Back of the card has the artist's name, contact detail, name of the card, and date created.

Otherwise, it seems the sky's the limit - any medium (watercolour, photo-manip, fabric, metal, collage, lithograph, etc etc) and any message.

(I'm sure you all know about ATCs, but a useful starting point for resources and links is at [link] )

~KysPerspective suggested the idea to me, and she and I will be trading, and both of us would be delighted to trade with anyone else who's interested.

I'm in...

I've never done them before, but I don't mind giving them a shot. <3

I feel much more comfortable trying them out with people who are just getting into them as well.

Brilliant! Color me in, though I've no idea how I'll print on decent cardstock at that formfactor. A technical hurdle! Surmountable!

This is an awesome idea. Flat-out awesome. Plans for compositions are whizzing through my head, competing with one another like tiny Topps-produced drag racers. Can't wait. Must get started.
