ATC's

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ARTIST TRADING CARDS!!!!!!!!
Ok, so all semester I have been waiting for this ONE project. We will be making 12 artist trading cards based on a theme of our choice and materials of our choice. The cards will be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.
My theme is humans as animals. Referencing how humans encroach on natural habitats. I want to use animals that are kind of overlooked. So no tigers, eagles, peacocks etc. Since I'm only making 12 I have narrowed the animal kingdom down to scavengers. Animals like crows, hyenas, bugs...
I am using a mix of collage, prisma pencils, AWESOME paper that I don't know the name of, shiny glue stuff and sandpaper. The style of the pictures was inspired by "sisters" by Harakut. Look them up, there are a husband and wife team and their stuff is awesome. The mood of the piece is kind of reflected in the song 'the animal I have become' by Three Days Grace.



I will post the cards as I finish them.
