This art piece completes my first month of the

2011 - 365 days of Art Project!!

~~~

Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs)

are miniature works of art about the same size

as modern baseball card or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches.

Small enough to fit inside standard

card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.

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.) or even metals or cloth.

The cards are usually traded or exchanged rather than sold

is the best calorie burner.

I believe in kissing,

kissing alot!

I believe in being Strong

when everything seems 

to be going wrong...

I believe that happy girls...

are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow is

another day & 

I believe in Miracles!"

Make Love....Not War!!

#8 of 365

Make Love...Not War!!!

~~~

This is an ACEO
that I made for a swap on

ATC's For All

called "Peace Out II".

I used a tie-dyed looking background,

I used arylic paint & a gel medium

for the peace sign.

I added wording with gel pens

and added paint here and there!!

I love the way it turned out

in person the color just pops out!!

~~~

ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals."
ACEOs are small, collectible pieces of art,

always 2.5" x 3.5",
the same size as sports trading cards.
They can be rendered in any medium or style.

Some of my ACEOs are originals,
but I often also sell prints

(called "editions," numbered and signed)
ACEOs are based on ATCs (Artist Trading Cards)
which, by definition, are only traded, never sold.
When the worldwide general public

(including non-artists)
became interested in owning and

collecting these mini artworks,
the ACEO acronym was created on eBay

to distinguish them from ATCs
and to provide a venue for artists to sell these small,
highly affordable and collectible artworks.
