Artist Trading Card Soiree

I recently had the opportunity to participate in my first Artist Trading Card event at the Space 237 gallery. It was fun experience. I met a lot of other artists and had the opportunity to see cards made from a number of techniques.

For those of you who don't know, an Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a small, collectible piece of art, 2.5" x 3.5". They are not to be sold but to be exchanged between artists. An ATC can be any medium and should include the artist's name, contact info, and title on the back of the card.

The theme of the soiree I attended was "Outer Space". Here are the images I came up with using photoshopped photos of lights and textures for my first edition of ATCs.
