Oh my, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Here are some of the better cards I worked on last week. I had signed up for a artist card trading game called a PAT or Pick-a-Theme. People are split into groups of five and each member picks a theme for the other artists to work on. Continue reading “ATCs: Still Stretching”

ATCs on Request: Black Panther
I’ve been feeling rather stunned for the past few days. I’ll blame it on all the financial turbulence. I’m having trouble writing, but since this is a drawing blog, why don’t I just post a drawing? I’ve not been drawing much this week, so I’ll just post one of the cards I made not longContinue reading “ATCs on Request: Black Panther”
ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy
(Click on the thumbnails for larger picture) I thought I would try to stretch myself and try my hand at something a little more inventive. I signed up for a swap called Colorful Funky Whimsy People over at atcsforall.com. I really had a hard time with it. I sat down and realized how rusty myContinue reading “ATCs: Attempts at Whimsy”
ATCs: In the Style of Rossetti
I participated in another Art 101 swap on Illustratedatcs.com. October’s featured artist was Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I’ve always enjoyed the Pre-Raphaelites, so I thought I would try my hand at making a few cards. As you can see, I had mixed success. On a side note, I just found out that a couple of myContinue reading “ATCs: In the Style of Rossetti”
In the Style of Modigliani – Portrait Atcs
I just joined IllustratedAtcs.com and signed up for my first card swap over there. We were to make cards based on the work of Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). I’ve always liked Modigliani, so it was fun to make these cards. I managed to squeeze a self-portrait in. I’m the one with the glasses. Michael makes anContinue reading “In the Style of Modigliani – Portrait Atcs”
EDM Challenge 185 – Draw a Cat
It’s been a while since I’ve done an Everyday Matters Challenge. To be honest, I didn’t do these specifically for the challenge. I was drawing cat cards for various swaps I had signed up for. So imagine my surprise when I went to check what the next EDM challenge would be. When I saw “drawContinue reading “EDM Challenge 185 – Draw a Cat”
Lion Portrait ATC
Here is the finished lion artist trading card that I referred to in my last post.
Mysterious Ladies
40s Beauty Here are two of my favorite artist trading cards from the stack I made last week. I’ve been making custom cards and drawing cards for themed swaps, but these I made just for fun. I traded the 40s Beauty on the right, but I’ve decided to keep the one on the left. I’mContinue reading “Mysterious Ladies”
Busy, Busy, Busy
Here’s one of a small stack of artist trading cards I’ve been making lately. This is from a photo by T. Bruce at Eyes. Mind. Heart. I’ve been making some cards by request which is a nice stretch for me. Barn owls and mini-portraits mainly. I’m also working on another portrait swap, but procrastination keepsContinue reading “Busy, Busy, Busy”
Branching Out
I’ve plunged headlong into ATC trading. I think I’m not far from being addicted. I’m been haunting Artist Trading Card forums, meeting people, signing up for swaps–Whew!– and now I’m a bit bleary eyed. I’ve been trading cards as fast as I can make them. This owl is on its way to its new homeContinue reading “Branching Out”
