A friend suggested I did some.
“What about aceos?” she said.
“Um…”
“They are so cute, and they can sell well.”
“Yeah,” I said. “I’ll look into it.”
What I actually meant was – I have no idea what you are talking about.
So I came home and hit Google. ACEOs are artist trading cards either as original drawings and paintings or limited edition prints. Just Google them and have a look at the images. There are masses some are good, some not, some are abstract, others photographic. The versatility is huge. But there are rules…
They have to be 2½ by 3½ inches, either portrait or landscape. That is tiny…
Usually they are sold in their own plastic case and they created on a tough material, like wood, thick card or watercolour paper.
I did think about these as they are quite small and I worry about my eyes, but if I use good lighting and only work for short periods there shouldn’t be a problem. Hopefully in the future I will have some aceos or artist trading cards available for sale.
Can’t decide though whether to use Esty, Folksy or eBay. Any other artists out there with any advice?
I’m not an artist so I can’t advise, but I know I use Etsy a lot when searching for this kind of art-type product 🙂
Thanks. I’ve been looking at etsy and their rates seem good. 🙂 Now I just got to draw something…
