Hello,

So after reading that, I bet you are wondering what artist trading cards, or ATCs, are. ATCs are 2 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch cards that you can make. They are small, quick, and easy to make. The idea behind them is to trade cards with other people to get a collection of cards from various artists and even non-artists. They can be any type of media, so long as they met the size requirement.

For more information about ATCs, please go here.

What do these cards look like? Here are some examples:
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5

Now, I'm quite new to Acen and don't really know where much is at the moment, so a meeting place has yet to be decided. I'll do more research on where to met and what time.

Hello~ part two of this group here! \(^ o ^)/ We'll also bring pencils and blank cards, just in case your shinigami uniform didn't include pants pockets!

These are fun, I've done them with my students.

[Ekqo]

@Purplegodess: Awesome! Maybe we'll see you there, then?

i might have to make a few of them up before i go to acen so when i'm sketching in between panels i have some info cards to hand out instead of scrambling for scratch paper to write my contact info on lol

There you go! Cooler than a business card!

Oh man, the con is rapidly approaching, isn't it? Exciiiiiiteeeed. We may just turn this into an informal drawing gathering on top of artist trading cards. Let's all just draw together and have fun, I say!

[Arison]

O-O I still don't know where and when we should met.

[Ekqo]

Still looking for a meeting place! Maybe somewhere in a corner of the artist alley hall...?

[Arison]

Let's just make it in the Regency Lobby. Where the front is. =p

[Ekqo]

Won't that be really noisy and bustling? D: I don't really remember it though so maybe I'm wrong.

[Ekqo]

I am totally gonna be up for some art trades, too! Honestly if anyone wants me to draw for them, just give me Tiger & Bunny art and I'll draw you almost anything, hahaha.

So far so good, looks like we'll have a big cardboard sign to show who/what we are! Again, we'll have pencils and paper available!

Keep an eye on our Twitter for news on when we'll be where. We are PinStripesS!
