ARTIST TRADING CARDS are miniature works of art created on 2 ½ X 3 ½ inch or 64 X 89 mm card stock.

they are originals, small editions and, most importantly, self-produced. anybody can produce them.
the idea is that you trade them with other people who produce cards, either at TRADING SESSIONS or wherever you meet another ATC trader in person.

Artists cards can be drawn painted collaged papercrafted sketched glued anything you like so go on give them a try
Here are a few of my latest ones

• 2.5 X 3.5 INCHES IN SIZE

I was shopping in the cornmill centre. In Darlington, Co. Durham. On January the 9th.
When I felt the need to use the ladies, situated downstairs in the mall.

I entered the second cubicle and with a glance noticed a small business type card, jutting out from behind the advertising sign bolted to the back of the toilet door. It had a splash of red and a website address on it.

Being a curious cat (Often my downfall) I was intrigued to find out more so pocketed it and went about my day. So I was quite surprised to find it lead me to the website detailing the account of Darlingtons very own VAMPIRE! ( is Rufus a real vampire or just a figment of Franks fertile mind is a question I have to ask) either way an intriguing and unusual way to get someone's attention.

Anyway you to are invited to Rufus Hobster's site to make YOUR own mind up about wether he is real or ficticious click the picture above or see the link at the right hand side..

Finally is Rufus Hobster GOOD or BAD, you decide, well you get to vote in the poll so get off the fence and take a peek into the world of a REAL vampire?

Here is a pen and ink doorway and arch overwashed in watercolours and aqua promarkers and details added using colored pencil
