Artist Trading Cards of More Predators

The ATC swap at CORE New Art Space Saturday was a delight. Three new participants brought cards to trade. Their work was nice: one photographic, one strong design work, one beautiful and surprising technically. And there were the regular characters with their humor and wonderful tiny pieces of art. In all the group’s work was related to the topic but none of the trading seemed to take advantage of another.

For me, one of the nicest things about Artist Trading Cards is that they are traded one card for one card. One does not have to trade but we all do because in our group each artist has a distinctive style or approach to the suggested topic. And there is the freedom that no one has to make their pieces to the topic.

Now I’m started on my next set of ATCs. The topic is Moon. You can imagine what all we’ll see on Thursday night. I can hardly wait.
