ACEO Art on eBay

I have enjoyed drawing since I was a little kid


My grandma always said, "keep it up!" and always advised me to keep practicing so that I would get better. 


Recently, I see that there are artists selling their art in a neat little collectible way. They call it ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals). It is art that has been put on little cards that are about the same size as a sports card. 


You can buy blank ones that have been designed for mixed media, drawing, oil painting, pastel and water-color.  I have purchased the mixed media, because I like to combine pencil, markers, pen and whatever else I can get my hands on. 


My favorite thing to draw are cartoon figures. I can draw a person, but I have always had trouble drawing the human anatomy. Drawing cartoons allows me to draw simple bodies without having all of the extra detail.


There are many people who are creating and trading their cards on eBay. Many of them are drawings, while others are oil and water-color paintings too. If you would like to see what eBay has, simply type ACEO into the search, and it will bring up many of the listings. 


I have started to place some of my own ACEO on eBay. You can check out my auction listings by clicking HERE.
