ATC - Artist Trading Cards

365 ATC cards
365 cards ready to go.

Artist Trading Cards are individual art miniatures, small editions and, most importantly, self-produced.

These cards pass hand to hand. Anybody can produce these art cards, artists make ATC for trade or self-promotion. The only rule for these cards is their 64 x 89 mm (2.5 by 3.5 inch)
There is no standard thickness for ATCs but people customarily make them thin enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The cards are created as unique works or small limited editions of prints. Artists generally sign and date the back, and may also include a title and contact information.

ACEO
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.

Do you make ATCs? Want to trade - swap?

I have cut 365 cards ready to be illustrated and decorated. My plan is to make one for everyday for the next year and hopefully trade them.
all set for a year of ATCs
Getting ready for a year of making 365 ATCs.

Trading - swapping/ You create a card that I get, and you get a card back.
Send me an email at post@ewian.com and tell me which card you would like to trade, and I will reserve it for you. You can make the card in any material, paper, cloth, paint, ceramics, knitted or sewn. The only limit are your imagination. Create a card that represents you.

You will have one month to create and send your card to me at:
EWian(Eli Wian),
Bjorkasvn.93,
N-8540 Ballangen
Norway.

When I get your card I will send you the card you wanted in return, well wrapped against the postal rough treatment.

Please remember to write the date and sign the card.

Norwegian:

365 kort klare. ATC - Artist Trading Cards, Kunstnernes bytte kort er individuelle kunst miniatyrer og viktigst av alt, egenproduserte.

Kortene er laget som unike verk eller små begrensede utgaver av trykk. Man signerer og datere bakesiden, man kan også inkludere en tittel og kontaktinformasjon.


Kortene passerer fra hånd til hånd, fra person til person. Hvem som helst kan lage kunst kort, kunstnere lager ATC for handel eller egenreklame. Den eneste regelen for disse kortene er deres 64 x 89 mm (2,5 med 3,5 tommer). Det er ingen standard tykkelse for ATC-ene, men folk lager de vanligvis dem tynne nok til å passe inn standard kort-samleren lommer.


ACEO
En avlegger av ATC er ACEO - "Art Cards, Editions, and Originals", "kunst kort, utgaver, og originaler". ACEO'er oppsto da noen kunstnere begynte å lage kort for å selge, i tillegg til bytte seg imellom.


Lager du ATC-er? Kunne du tenke deg å lage en? Har du lyst å bytte?

Jeg har kuttet 365 kort klar til å bli illustrert og dekorert. Min plan er å lage en for hver dag for det neste år og forhåpentligvis bytte dem.

Hvordan bytte med meg/ Du lager et kort som jeg får og du får et kort tilbake.
Send meg en epost på post@ewian.com og fortelle meg hvilket kort du ønsker å bytte, og jeg vil reservere det for deg. Du kan lage kortet i hvilket som helst materiale , papir, tøy, maling, keramikk, strikket eller sydd. Her er det bare fantasien som setter grenser. Lag et kort som representerer deg.

Du har en måned på å lage og sende kortet til meg:
EWian (Eli Wian),
Bjørkåsvn.93,

8540 Ballangen
Norge

Når jeg får kortet vil jeg sende deg kortet du ønsket i retur, godt innpakket mot postvesenet røffe behandling.

Vennligst husk å skrive dato og signere kortet.

Worklist form week 10, until week 22

studio080312
Yes, under all the clutter is my worktable. No, it has not dropped a bomb, nor have I pulled out every equipment I own. I have just been really bad clearing away equipment before I took on new things.

So this is my work-list from now until week 22:
*Cleaning my work table, - 30 minutes.

*Illustration to text from Eirik - a bit stuck.

*Postcard swap, 10 postcards, iHanna - Not started, deadline 12th of March!

*Marionetts, learning to make some dolls, 400 hours. - about 70 hours into the project.

*Educational illustration - almost done, about 4hours left.

*Carving a stamp/linoleum - just the fine tuning and printing/stamping.

*Install shelves in the studio - not sure of the hours, 6 racks, 3 done.

*Moly_x, - one journal entry every month.

*Rakels picture, - adding text and varnishes, deadline 1.may.

*Art journal - 15 minutes everyday.


If I find the time:
*Blog, somewhere in my head there is a connection between what I know I would love to share, and finding the moments to put my self down and typing it up in English.

* Lifebook classes

*Editing the videos that I have filmed.

*Make 10 ATC and find someone to swap them with!

*Sample book, making an overview of the techniques I know.

*Ballerina painting, - adding the detail and shadows in the dress + varnishes, deadline 1. august.

*Geo Caching, need some fresh air.

I think that's it. You know anything I forgotten?

View form a studio window - video




I am participating in a moley_X project. If you are curious or want to follow the adventure of this group of artists from around the world, in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange you can go here: http://moleskinex79.blogspot.com

As mention in my blog post yesterday: http://ewian.blogspot.com/2010/10/view-form-studio-window.html My inspiration for this entry was the view from my studio window. I love the motive of the clothesline. This one I share with my neighbour. In this entry I have used a bit whimsical style. So excited to see how the rest of the book will develop. Wondering how people and the art will interact on the pages.

Medium used: pencil, eraser, acrylic paint, iridescent, vinyl paint, vintage paper, permanent marker, crystal gloss, promarkers, gesso and glue.
