NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Recently read: Bernie Berlin’s Artist Trading Card Workshop



If you aren’t familiar with Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), they are in effect business cards that are individual works of art by artists. ATCs are created and traded—never, ever sold. They are precisely 2 ½ by 3 ½ cards that express the artist. In this book in workshop format, the author explains a variety of techniques that not only can be applied to the miniature world of ATCs, but to any type of art, including mixed media, collage, and painting (maybe not sculpture, though!). Full of detailed photos and clear descriptions, I found a number of things I’ve added to my “art technique repertoire.”
