Artist Trading Cards this Saturday!

Artist Trading Cards + Nichols Berg Gallery = Monster Fun!
I’ll be hosting an Artist Trading Card (ATC) session in Chestnut Hill this Saturday at the Nichols Berg Gallery. I have invited a bunch of my friends from the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society so it is bound to be a fun-filled and super creative afternoon. If you need more info on “What the heck is Artist Trading Cards?” you can find it here and here.
It’s an All Ages, Free Event , grab a friend and come on out. ATC sessions are a great way to meet fellow creatives, trade techniques and swap artwork!

Artist Trading Cards at the Free Library.

Yours truly will be hosting an Artist Trading Card session at the Free Library of Philadelphia as part of their One Book One Philadelphia event.The session starts at 3:30pm and should go to around 6pm. It is a free event and open to all ages. I am hoping to have a few of my fellow Philadelphia Cartoonist Society members on hand to make and trade cards along with all that attend.
Making Artist Trading Cards is always a lot of fun and you get to walk away with some really kewl artwork at the end of the session. Hope to see you there.

If you are unfamiliar with Artist Trading Cards (ATC) you find out more information here.
And I have posted some of my cards from a previous session at Kathy Davis Studios here.

ATC @ U of A!

As many of you know I host Artist Trading Card sessions at the University of the Arts. Artist trading cards are a spin off of the popular gaming cards, like Magic. The only difference is each card is a little work of art that is traded with fellow artists. I have been holding sessions (Thank you Mr. Bob Dix) now for almost a decade now and every session holds new creative surprises.
The images above are some of the cards I traded with my High School students.
Keep your eyes peeled for more ATC sessions being posted on this blog!

Artist Trading Cards

A few days ago I stopped in Dick Blick and saw that they sold Bristol Board Artist Trading Card packs, so I picked one up. Now they've become a staple morning "warm up" before I start in on work. Now that I'm working on so much long-term stuff, it's nice to do a piece that I can finish in 10-15 minutes.

This is a sampling from the past few days.
