original one of a kind ACEO (art card editions and originals)

Because we all need some mystery in our lives. This is a mixed media woodblock monoprint. Included elements of drawing, painting and collage using Japanese washi paper.

Everything used is archival. Each block is carved by hand and then printed using professional grade Danial Smith and Graphic Chemical printmaking inks on watercolor paper. *card has been sealed with matte medium but due to the delicate nature of the washi paper it is best that this card be kept either in the case that it comes in or some other protective casing such as a frame or an album*

These are always original one of a kind pieces, never reproductions. As with all my work these cards come signed and numbered one of a kind on the back. They are cased in a rigid archival plastic case for protection.

*first image is for sale, rest of images used to show process and are not for sale.

Artists have produced miniatures for trade or self-promotion in many eras and places, and the current trend is thus part of this larger context. Originally traded these beautiful pieces of original art are now available to collectors to purchase. The only rule for these cards is their size (2.5 x 3.5 inches, the same as baseball and playing cards).
