| Artist trading cards, or ATCs, are popular mini works of art traded and
shared by artists of all stripes as a means of advertising their talents to
others. Roughly the size of a playing card, the backside of an ATC typically
lists its artist's name and contact info.
In this compendium, Cloth Paper Scissors and Quilting Arts
Magazine editor Patricia Bolton compiles an impressive array of the tiny
artworks, many of which are culled from reader challenges sponsored by the
magazines. Others were created specially for this book.
1,000 Artist Trading Cards includes a how-to section on creating
your own cards alongside 1,000 full-color photos of wildly varying works. It
also provides information on online communities dedicated to sharing ATCs across
the globe. 320-page hardcover. |
