Often artist make a group of ACEOs using a common idea. Please choose only one card for entry. You may use whatever medium us choose as long as you follow the size restrictions given in the following description.
What is an ACEO you ask? A.C.E.O. stands for: Art Cards, Editions and Originals. An ACEO is "always" 2.5 x 3.5 inches in portrait or landscape orientation. Small collectable pieces of original art or a signed "Open" or "Limited" Edition reproduction print by the artist. Designed on the Artist Trading Cards (ATC) which are 'traded' ...ACEO's are for sale to collectors. They allow people all around the world to collect and sell art because of their affordability and that the miniature size provides ease of shipping.
After you’ve completed your ACEO add it to your own blog or photo-sharing site like Flickr. Please include a title and a brief description of you work.
