Artist Trading Cards anyone?

[Lin]

I have just recently found out about these!!! I would love to trade with anyone at the con if anyone else is into it otherwise I will just be giving them to random people I like! Art sharing makes the world progress crazilly!

I hope someone will be doing this as well! I made awesome little FF critters on my cards! Moogles, Moombas, Cactaurs, Tonberrys, and Chocobos!!! That and some character art and some OCs as well!

How would one go about making these? I wanna do it too!

Well go check out this link! http://www.strathmoreartist.com/atc.php
They are actually pre-cut to trading card size and they come in different paper styles! I like the canvas! I've been finding them at our local art shop as well as our comic shop, but if you don't want to buy them it should be easy enough to make them!

Oohala! I'll so make these! Do we make many artist cards of a single portrait of ourselves, or do we make multiple pictures?

Whatever you want! I personally am making all my favorite video game critters from my childhood and lots of random characters of my own making! Do what ever makes you happy!

That is so cool!! What an awesome idea! =D I wonder if Michaels carries the little art pads for them. (I don't recall ever seeing them there)

Personally, I would just get whatever paper you are going to use and take it over to a kinkos and cut them to size. They have a great cutter there (or maybe any art department or copy center). I know there is usually a gathering at McMennimans on 10th and Market in Portland once a month to trade art cards (3rd or 4th sunday.). They usually post something on Craigslist if anyone is interested.
