Artist Trading Cards I

Artist Trading Cards are made on 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" card stock. There's a thriving sub-culture of people who make and trade them. Use any medium/media you like. Apparently using heavy collage materials is frowned upon, but otherwise anything goes. I don't know whether other people make multiples, print multiple copies, or make short series of prints, but so far all mine are one of a kind. If you like these, please comment. If you don't like them please comment. Whatever, please comment.

Untitled 2012-A  I've always liked doing collages.  They rarely start with a plan, just a notion that a couple or three things would go together well.
