Artist trading cards.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postA friend recently send out an email asking fellow artists if they were interested in exchanging artist trading cards. This is the first I'd heard of artist trading cards, though the concept of exchanging art for art isn't new (I've been involved in print trades in college, for example). ATC's have been around for...hundreds of years.
I'm a little behind the times.
I love the idea of making art to trade for other art. In fact, I wanted to post about ATC's to encourage other artists out there to get started and to consider trading with me.
How to go about trading:
- Find out more on how to make the cards and what the specifications for size are on this web page. Basically, your cards need to be 2.5" X 3.5", like a baseball card. They can be originals or editions, but must be your own art. They should be on sturdy paper. On the back of your card, you need to write your: name, contact information, title of the ATC, and number if it's part of an edition.
- Send your card(s) to my mailing address (found here) and I will exchange a card(s) with you.
