New Images posted on the "Work for Sale" page . . .

Still working on the ACEOs (Art cards, Editions and Originals) and here's the poster from Jorgen Klausen's gallery where my cards, and those of many other artists, are on sale in Saint John.

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards: (6 X 9 cm). Small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets they can also be matted and framed to produce an original work of art at a very reasonable price!

The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.)

An offshoot of Artist Trading Cards are these "Art Cards, Editions, and Originals" (ACEOs) which I have been making. These cards originated when artists began to create them to sell rather than trade.
