Figures & Artist Trading Cards

It's been awhile since I've gone an art card run. 

I've had everything laid out in front of me numerous times, 

just making a mess and sorting 

cutting out a few images and text and bundling it all back up again 

sticking it back in the drawer.

Yesterday was the day I endeavored to make another collection.

I realized when I was scanning these  that I 

have a propensity for putting figures in my ATC's

I think it's because of the small space I have to make  my artistic statement

and that ready made figures are quite handy,

a shorthand for me

and the text too 

and a few swapped heads

and I have fun

combining and sometimes going "hmmm?"

 myself

I love typing manuals for the text

and old magazine ads

especially with some old gal from the early 1900's

I'm sure you can guess what the title is on this one

but what you may not know is that is an altered pic of a cactus

in the background.

I've cut up a few of my old printmaking projects

for some of these backgrounds

The Whiner

My brother gave me the most delightful pageful of crying babies from the early 1900's

I've been scanning and using their faces

definitely altered art

apologies to Matisse

Yellow Hat Guys Make Me Cry

Look To the Future

Faros

I Would Have Curtsied

Should Be

Goddess Shoe

Too Many Hams

I'm happy to trade any of these if you wish.

Even if you don't want to trade I'd love to hear which one is your favorite.

Thanks, xoxo Kim
