In the autumn of 2002 I developed an interest for Artist Trading Cards. For more information about ATCs and ideas for making them, see my article Art in your pocket: Artist Trading Cards where you'll also find links to other ATC galleries. Scroll to the right to view a selection of my creations with a note about the technique used. Below is my signature ATC I include with sets. Please note: I am not able to make or trade ATCs at the moment.
