Space for the 2008 Edition is Now Available!!!


















The 2008 edition of  "Create. Collect. Trade. A collection of Artist Trading Cards Created by Artists and Students" is now available for artists to purchase their 2 FULL PAGES and individual copy of. 

"Create. Collect. Trade. A Collection of Artist Trading Cards Created by Artists and Students" is an 80 page yearly publication of ACEO (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) and ATC (Artist Trading Cards) art created by 25 artists and 25 elementary art students, who use these artists as inspiration. 

This book is perfect for shop and artist promotion, a great coffee table book, and an inspirational guide for visual artists, students, and teachers. 

This handbook is sent out to each of the 25 artists for them to use it as a promotional tool and given to artists, teachers, and art students to refer to for inspiration and interest.
***********************************************

*Artists will receive 2 FULL PAGES to display their 3-16 images of their work 
-I have a variety of layouts and you will have the option of using any number of cards... 
larger images=less works displayed, but larger  and good for cards with lots of detail
smaller images=more works to provide a variety of visual and artistic range

*Artists will receive a copy of the book.
-Additional copies will be available for purchase

*Artists will have freedom with the text they would like to include wether it be promotional, explanation of the cards or inspirations, something about themselves, and  opportunity to put links to their shops, blogs, websites, etc. 

*Artists  will be listed and recognized on the official book blog. Etsy minis will also be posted as well of artists' shops if requested.

*7 Artists will be selected to appear on the cover alongside student work inspired by them!
**********************************************

This book is a way to share and give back to the art community, while at the same time promoting yourself, your art, and adding this experience to your portfolio. 

I will be updating the blog on a daily basis and providing more information about the book. Please convo me on Etsy or send an e-mail to art2theextreme@yahoo.com

***Create. Collect. Trade. was inspired by Project ATC, where Flickr and Etsy ACEO and ATC artists have donated their cards to swap with elementary art students in the hopes to make this art form become more well known and provide students with the visual opportunity to view actual artist work.
