Have you ever seen those little paintings called Artist Trading Cards? A few years ago, I used to go to a ATC club, and it was fun. Artists and non artists alike were having fun, decorating little 2.5 by 3.5-inch pictures and swapping them. I stopped going because a few artists took all of the fun out of it by making it too serious. I don’t know why they had to be such party poopers, but there you are. I’ve started back up again, because I believe that they are great marketing tools. Selling them for $5 each at art shows could prove very lucrative, as they are business card sized, and at the same time, original artwork. Usually people share their treasures with other people, and they in return give a referral. Each card can take about 10 minutes or more depending on how much detail you want to put on them. I’ve shrunken mine to size 2 by 3 inches, just for the simple fact that I can make 24 cards out of a 9 by 12-inch bristol board or watercolor paper. Instead of going the business card glued on the back route, I purchased a customizable stamper. The reason being is because, it enables freedom to write whatever message on it, like new websites, phone number changes, little quotes, etc. It costs about $20 at a stationary store.
