I have discovered a new way to create the illustrations I want in a format that is both compact and fun. Artist trading cards are the niftiest things out since they started making brush pens that didn't suck.
The craze began in 1997 with Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann who created an installment of 1200 individual cards. From that time forward there have been trade gatherings the world round where folks bring in their work displayed on 2.5" x 3.5" cards and trade or sell them.
My love of illustration, specifically comics, has inspired me to try my hand at creating a couple different sets of cards. I'm currently attempting to gather folks in my current town of Grand Rapids, MI for a trade and chat show.
I'll continue to post updates on new cards and any progress I make with the future show.
Until next time here are some of the cards I have completed thus far.
