For a part time artist, it is still quite amazing that I miss some new cool things about what is happening in the art world. So when I stumbled upon ACEO (also known as Artist’s Trading Card), it peaked my curiosity. Artist trading card, and yes in literal sense, is a subset of miniature art pieces that ranges from reproduction of original works including photographs to original collage and oil paintings. It is believed to have started in Europe when a group of artists decided to create their own trading cards that can be traded just like your kids’ Pokemon cards and the not-so-kids’ anymore Dungeons and Dragon cards. ACEO comes in 2.5x3.5 (inches) size which is a little over the size of a credit card. With some googling and searching on eBay, you will start to appreciate this small art movement. However, will these miniature art pieces really be traded or swapped, or hoarded by avid collectors still remains a question.
