ATCs are small works of art (2.5 inches by 3.5 inches) that are swapped or traded, between artists, they are never sold. Usually the artist signs up to create a number of cards, typically 3 to 6, to a set theme. Unique ATCs are known as "originals", sets of identical cards are called "editions" and are numbered, ATCs that follow a theme but where each card is different are known as "a series". My work is usually produced as a series.
Most media can be used for the creation of an ATC, because scale is very important there is a great deal of enjoyment to be found in gathering and accumulating a range of products for this art form.
