Artist Trading Cards

Artist Trading Cards are described on Wikipedia. Blank cards can be bought from art supply shops and the pack claims ... "Artist Trading Cards are a concept where artists create pocket sized artworks so that they can be traded with other artists. This began in the Impressionist age and is popular today among artists who prefer to share their art." They are not sold but swapped. They can also be used as "business cards" by artists, or can even be given as gifts to people interested in your work.

An internet search on Artist Trading Cards will give you lots of examples and perhaps even themes and media to think about when you are creating your own.

If you are interested in trading any of my Artist Trading Cards with one of yours please let me know. These cards are all 2.5 x 3.5" in size. When I have traded them I will add it to the caption below the photo.
