Halloween's coming

I'm getting ready for the Halloween season.  (My absolutely most favorite holiday) by beginning to list Halloween/Spooky themed art on ebay.  Here is my first Aceo of the season titled "Mrs. Dracula's Pumpkin"

Black and White

I've just sold my first black and white pencil ACEO on ebay.  It's a picture of a beautiful fairy wearing an orchid in her hair.

Do you think I should create some more pencil pieces?

What ACEO's are all About

A direct quote from Art-Cards.org

ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". These cards have one main rule - they are 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.

The reason for this is, of course, that Art Cards are made to be traded! But while artists were happily trading cards, the general public was left out in the cold, having no Art Cards to trade. A group of artists realized this, and quickly made their cards available for sale at remarkably low prices so that everyone could join in the fun!

Cards are also sold either as originals or editions. Make sure you know which you are buying! If it is a print it should say so, and it should be numbered and signed, usually on the back.

Art Cards can be a riot! Artists from all over the world are creating, and now selling these little gems in different mediums and of different subjects. Watercolor, Oil, Acrylic, Colored Pencil, Pastels, Pyrography, Pen and Ink, Sketching, Collage - the sky is the limit. Abstract, Surrealism, Outsider Art, Impressionism, Expressionism -every style you can think of - and then some!. Every interest and subject is covered! Extremely collectable Pocket Art, you can't stop at just one!

Tiny little pictures

I'm having a lot of fun listing tiny little pictures on ebay that are called ACEO's.  They are only 2.5"x3.5" and are the perfect size for the fairy portraits that I do.  Here is an example.

Here's her auction.

She's so pretty.  I'll see how she does.
