I want to begin by apologizing for the the extended absence. Real life got a little out of hand but I am back now with enough time to commit to the group.

There are quite a few things on the to do list required to clear out the cobwebs. Please bear with.

I need opinions on the DeviantArt groups system and whether we should transfer over.

Hope to hear from everyone soon!

We have various openings for people with an hour or two going spare each week. If you are interested in helping out please send me a note with the title 'Help'. Together we can get this place hopping!

If you have already sent a message and are still interested, don't worry, I am currently going through the back log messages and will get back to you soon.

Welcome to the club for all lovers of ACEO, from the mildly interested to the outright ADDICTED!

Natalie was a great sport. Thanks Natalie!




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! - www.art-cards.org
