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
