ARTIST TRADING CARDS (ATC) are a variation of the popular mass-produced trading cards available for sale all over the world. The difference is rather than buying them, you make them. This means that each card is an original work of art, or one of a small edition run that you can trade with other people who have created their own cards.

ANY AND ALL MATERIALS and techniques are permitted (drawing in pencil, pen, marker, chalk or crayon etc., painting, photographs, collage, found materials, mixed media -- anything!). 

THERE IS ONLY ONE RULE: the cards should be the same size as traditional collector cards: 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (64mm x 89mm). On the back you may want to sign and perhaps date your cards. If they are part of an edition you could number them as well. Add any other information you like, or leave it blank, it's entirely up to you.
