I traded Powergirl ATCs with a few friends... here's the one I did. I like her lots. I hope her new owner takes good care of her. :) (Yes, it really is 2.5 by 3.5 inches!)
Click to see it closer. 3 cards I did for a "sideshow" theme, color pencil. I particularly like "invisible cat"... In fact, just for visiting me here, I've sent you an invisible cat! It's right outside your door. Take good care of it!
Here is just a small sample of the many artist trading cards I have collected in the last 6 months. Oh, yes... there's more! I'm kicking myself I've fell so far behind in posting these. I'll be giving some of these special attention in future posts. I love them all but some of these are just too good for me to deserve (not that I'd give them up, mind you).
My friend, Brian Gubicza (goobeetsa) sent me these incredible Alice in Wonderland puppets! I also got his book of dreams, a collection of the dreams he's illustrated on his blog. Both are available on his Etsy and I highly recommend you get them!

ATC and Postcards
ATC, or Artist Trading Cards, are 2.5 x 3.5 inches or 6.5cm x 9cm card-stock. They are patterned after American baseball cards. They can be any medium, from digital to sculpture, but usually they are hand-drawn and colored. One side has the art and, usually, the other side has the artist'd info and signature.
Postcards come in several sizes but they are usually 4 by 6 inches. They should be mailed without envelope, the wear they receive in transit being part of the project.
