These are my first three artist trading cards (front & back of each). I was trying to play with the familiar layout of playing cards while adding to / building off of it with collaged images and text, neither of which I have worked with extensively. It was fun to try new techniques with them, but somewhat frustrating in that they did not turn out how I had wanted them too.Also (Safety Tip) don't ever heat up a playing card in a frying pan if there is superglue on it - horrible, invisible gases will come at you and blind you momentarily. Trust me - I've learned my lesson.
Yikes, sounds dangerous! Thanks for the safety tip - it's a good thing you weren't hurt! I really like the cards. Nice collage and incorporation of text - that can often be a difficult thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip - heat/superglue bad, ventilation good - good to know. Your treatment on the cards is great. I like how you kept the integrity of the playing cards but still made them completely your own. Very nice execution.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THEM~
