Here’s what I did to get this blue rabbit to appear:
I painted some random colors on an artist trading card-sized background.
I put a blob of blue paint down and ran the brayer over it.
Yes, that was it. And then, after I gave him an eye, there was this blue bunny looking at me.
Here are a some ATC’s I made as part of my teaching duties at my mixed media class from earlier this year. I created them as part of our session on mail art and other social art (art meant to share), so that they could be part of a trading session our class did.
ATC Advice is my own category for this kind of ATC card. Simple to make. Make an ATC. Put a phrase cut from print on it. Pick the phrase at random; do not try to match it to the card.
Read the words, look at the picture, and see what you get from the juxtaposition.
You may be surprised. The ATC Advice method quite often offers something astute or insightful or maybe just head-scratching.

Here are a couple of cards from January 2019.
I do believe the title of the post says it all. If I did, well, here they are again. The first one is done in acrylics and ink – another one of those where the random paint inspired the next step – and it ends up being a face.
The second one was a little drawing I made some time back in pen and ink, and now I made it into an ATC, because I liked the look of it and didn’t want it to get lost.
