Artist Trading Cards by Children

Details from children's artwork made into ATCs
Bunny Rabbit? The Thrill of Surfboarding?

I've traded cards with my grandkids on several occasions, but these cards I made from artwork my grandkids either sent me as presents or greeting cards or left behind when they drew or painted in my studio. They range in age and were made over the past twenty years. 

The topic for this week's trade is Children's Art. I've made these cards from presents and cards they have sent me over the years and from artwork they left behind from their work in my studio. I don't know who made what and probably don't have examples from all ten of these kids.

Back to Business

Artist Trading Cards, May 2017 by Phillip Hoyle

Finally after too many weeks with no posts, I'm back in business. I actually did make a few cards for trade but traded all of them and forgot to scan them. Now I'm better organized and hope to make regular postings of some of the cards, leaf prints, and other artwork I conspire to do and complete! 

Abstract designs and monoprints continue to keep my interest. I've been looking at other things too, but don't know when I will feel I know enough about printing to satisfy this current interest.

I made four sets of cards but have printed only three of them. Perhaps I'll show more next week--if I happen to remember.

Hope you are warming up in this interesting spring. Here in Denver we fluxuate between snow, rain, hail, and then some days in the 80s. We're courting summer like we're in a hurry. I do like walking around in milder weather. Also my studio is now warmer. I don't have to wear a muffler and my hands don't get so cold.
