My newest venture

I decided to get into the ACEO game! What's an ACEO? Just read below:

"Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards,[1] or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (6cm X 9cm),[2] small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.[3] The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.[4] 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 the "Art Cards, Editions, and Originals" (ACEO). ACEOs originated when some artists began to create cards to sell, in addition to trading among themselves."

So, I decided to make some mini artworks myself. Here are some examples:
And to see more, you can visit my ACEO gallery album here. And if you're interested in buying one of my ACEO art cards, or any of my other pieces of artwork, visit my Etsy shop and have a look.
