So, a I explained before, due to extended writer’s block, I have been unable to write. Every page ended up in the bin, so I am keeping my creativity going by painting ACEOs instead.
I was searching for something manageable to start with, and I discovered tiny little collectables, miniature paintings just 2.5ins x 3.5ins, called Art Cards, Editions and Originals, ACEO for short.
These started out as cards to be traded, much like Pokemon cards, but are now made for sale, usually on eBay or Etsy, and are collected all over the world. Their designs vary from the simple to astonishingly complex, and I am trying out a variety of different styles.
I am selling mine on eBay, at Josordoniart.
