I was gently reminded this evening that I’d neglected to explain what on Urth ATCs are. Oops! ATCs are artist trading cards. They’re small, original artworks that are made to be given away or traded. Based on popular mass produced trading cards, ATCs always measure 3.5 x 2.5 inches. They’re a fun way for artists to swap and collect each other’s artwork.
Although the original intention was that artists would meet in person to trade ATCs, many on-line art communities hold frequent ATC swaps. Often there is a theme, such as the dark Valentine inspired “tainted love” ATC swap I recently participated in.
