What are Artist Trading Cards? (ATC)

[labedaelaine]

Your card stock is too thin or you would not need to constantly flex them back into shape during the video. Try using unwanted commercially made sports trading cards.

ATC are traded and ACEOs are sold, almost the same except ACEOs are generally done in editions for sale, barter, etc... ATCs were generally hand done examples of your work/style that were art that acted like a business card to get you more work.

Another good place to swap ATCs is swap-bot (DOT)com.

THESE ARE RARE AND I WOULD THINK EVERY ONE WOULD BE ONE OF A KIND< FIND THE GOOD ARTISTS AND COLLECT< RARITIES COULD BE WORTH FORTUNES!!!!!!!!

i'm 13 and i do ATC's alot.....i come from a very artistic family :)

[SuperStarsNStripes]

I'm kind of a germophobe. If I got a cut up kleenex box in the mail I'd freak.

I love the idea of the cards, though.

[HiddenTreasure2010]

love your video, Was wondering if you do anything ti the backs, considering it is a cereal box eg. or do you cover that print with the art work leaving the plain carboard to the back?

This is a very informative video on ATCs. Thanks so much for posting :) I'm new to ATCs and was looking up some information on them. I always have ideas that wouldn't work for any other media and ATCs just fit that bill. Like cards of my favorite quotes. Thanks for the info!

[KraftyKatsy]

Thanks for doing this video & I would say you ARE an artist.

thanks for the information... I am wondering i am new at ATC what sights would u reccomend to start small at this in? Lebra

[trippydreams]

i Believe that their is wrong in artwork. Not in how you actually piant or create but how some people take art.

ex.I think it is wrong to be competitive in art

[menderfire9]

Thanks for this fabulous video! I will participate!

Although I have never in my life had an artist BLOCK I do have a block on coming up with names for my paintings and little descriptions and verses... Could a group of word-smiths or verse traders be started to inspire naming paintings and writing verses to go with paintings? I have had this dream or desire for years! How would I start such a thing? Do you think others might be interested?

Have fun you all!!

[scrappydoo77]

i like your cards, can i use anything to put on them if i decide to start making them?

[ozsomenurse]

Yes, there is no limit to what you can use. There is no wrong in artwork!

[maplekanirie]

Thnx for the great infand ur artwork is so cool

I'm a beginner at atc so this vid really helps me out but I'm not sure my art is good enough sometimes

[ozsomenurse]

Sure it is. By doing the JAMS you get inspired by other's work.

[TwilightFreak1057]

[FLuSHUnderground]

[ozsomenurse]

I got them from the internet. Search under royalty free vintage or victorian images. I can post a whole bunch that I have on a site to download if you'd like.
