Art Update

Well, my art has definitely been slow going with all the crazy demands on my time these days, but it hasn't stopped. I've moved away from ATC trading, and it's been more satisfying going at my own pace.

I recreated one of my favorite pieces that I had traded away - this one's a little bigger and better than before.

A card for a friend - a very cool cat lady who likes this style of people :)

My sister's dog passed away and she asked for a painting to remember her by - my first attempt at animal watercolors...hmmm...

This was drawn for my husband's phone case, because he loves zentangles and the Sorcerer's Apprentice...it looked so cool with all the gradient filters etc...but we found out we couldn't use it..bummer.

Did a few more ATCs and limited myself to only colored pencils - very therapeutic.

And last, some old scans from the Draw 100 Things When You're Bored list and some DLP.

Mid-September PAT

For this HD/HP group the themes were hedgehog, anything whimsical, whimsical girl, and caterpillars. My theme was a sunflower with a ladybug.

For the HD/HP challenging group the themes were Daryl Dixon from the TV show Walking Dead (had to look him up), Lovecraftian Horror (had to look that up too), steampunk lady walking a steampunk dog, and Marilyn Monroe. My theme was cartoon characters in Star Trek!

Pixar Swap

For this swap you could choose any Pixar character from a movie or featured short. Although Wall-E is one of my favorite Pixar movies, the card turned out less-than-stellar and did not make the cut!

Brave

For the Birds

La Luna (my new favorite short!)

Monsters Inc.

2 Column Subject Swap

When each player joined this swap they had to suggest 2 subjects, one for column A and one for column B. Then each card created needs to display a combo of words, one from each column.

Glossary

AFA-Artist Trading Cards For All. A website that hosts swaps and individual trades of artist trading cards.

ATC-Artist Trading Card. A 2.5x3.5 work of art created to trade and collect.

HD/HP- Hand drawn/hand painted. Some swaps and trades are designated as hd/hp so players know not to use any collage elements.

Host Gift-In a swap it is customary to make an extra card on the theme as a thank you for the swap host. This is why many times in a 3:3 swap you will see 4 cards displayed.

MMH-Make Me Happy. This type of trade is where one person lists off some themes of cards they'd like to receive and the next player claims one of those topics and creates a card accordingly to send to person A. Then person B requests some themes and the next player after them creates one of those cards for person B.

PAT-Pick a Theme. It is a type of swap wherein each member of the group requests a specific theme for their return cards.

Swap-Sometimes people host a swap with a general theme and requirements. Anyone can sign up to play. Swaps usually are 3:3, but can be 6:6. Meaning each player makes 3 cards that fit the theme and then mails them to the host. The host then mixes them up and mails each player 3 different cards from 3 different artists.
