Bots & ATC’s
Ok, so I recently picked up a few discount ($1!!!) vintage clip art books, one of which was of “Naughty French Spot Illustrations“. It’s very tasteful, and I just love the images, but I wasn’t initially sure what to do with them.
If you’re not hip to Artist Trading Cards, or ATC’s, yet you really are in for a treat. Essentially, it’s a 2.5″ x 3.5″ card. That’s it - anything else goes. You can collage it, stitch it, paint it, stamp it, scrunch it, punch it, press it…. you get the idea, right? Add your artist details to the back and voila! you have an ATC. The next step is of course to trade them!
There are lots of ATC “swaps” out there you can participate in. You’re matched up with one or several partners and you mail each other an ATC. That’s it - and that’s why they’re popular! Anything goes (did I say that already?)!
Anyway, I’ve finally signed up for my first swap on Swap-Bot, “Vintage Nude/Adult ATC Swap”, and I am psyched!!
Oh, and here are my ATC links on Del.icio.us if you want more ATC inspirations.
