ACEO - Art Cards Editions and Originals







ACEOs or ATCs (art trading cards) are the size of a baseball card. They are a fun, easy and affordable way to collect original pieces of art. Each card measures 3.½"x2.½". 6.35 x 8.9 cm. 
I have been painting lots of these cards recently and have put them on sale in my etsy shop. 
A group of framed ACEO's would look great along a stairs or corridor.
Check out the shop and tell me what you think. Thanks

What is an original print?

#originalart #reproductions #copies #prints An original" or "fine art" prints as defined by the Print Council of America as an image drawn or etched or engraved on some surface by the artist, who prints a limited number of the pieces by hand (or personally supervises someone else doing it), then signs and numbers the individual prints and defaces the printing plate or erases the image on the lithographic stone.  So original art is not a reproduction nor a copy.  For example it can be an etching, a lithograph or a screen print produced in a limited edition by the artist if possible or if not it has been supervised by the artist. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Often it has the printers stamp on the reverse or bottom corner.  How can you tell if it's an original and not a copy or reproduction? Get a magnifying glass and look carefully at the print. If it is an etching, it is pretty easy. First it will always have a plate mark around the ...

For the last year I've been screen printing. Now I have a selection of prints to show and sell online.  1. This is  " The Woods ". I have printed it in various ways and colours and on various papers.  It was inspired by a photograph taken in Cornwall UK one winter's day. The above image is printed two times on orange paper. First time pale blue and second time a dark blue. I love the effect of light coming through the trees and the orange glow in the center.  Paper dimensions:50x34cm Image dimensions: 45x30cm Price: €60 Postage and packing Europe: €15 Postage and packing rest of world: €25

Protect your Art

Whether you are an artist or a collector you need to protect your art. Not just from theft, but from fire, water damage, light, heat, damp etc.  Art works come in many forms, from stone, metal, canvas, paper, plastic, fabric, ceramic, glass, plastic and combinations of all those.  Metal and stone my be left outside but then you need to think about security. Is it on a solid surface and won't topple over? Can it easily be lifted and therefore "lifted"? Glass and ceramics also need to be on a solid surface to avoid risk of breakage and damage. Either put them in a display case or keep them away from children, dogs, cats and all clumsy adults.  Works on canvas, paintings, paper art including photography should be correctly attached to a wall to avoid falling. A light painting will suffer damage to the stretcher and could tear if it falls even a short distance.  If your works are very valuable they should also be screwed to the wall and not just hung.
