How to sell your ACEO on Ebay - part one


What is an ACEO?

This stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. They are the same size as baseball cards, except they are miniature pieces of art. All of them have the same measurements: 2.5" x 3.5". These are highly collectable pieces of art, and many artists are missing out on a great way to share their artwork and make a profit if they are not selling these tiny paintings, drawings and artwork.
According to the guide on ebay, written by debcoart; "Artists first began using these cards centuries ago in Europe. Some wealthy patrons would pay artists to paint miniature pocket-sized paintings that they could carry on their person. It was not uncommon for men to carry these miniatures of their mistresses. Artists also would trade these miniature paintings with other artists to share their techniques and also as barter for goods that they might need from various merchants who could not afford to buy their larger paintings.
In 1999, some fellow introduced this art form on the internet and it became a movement known as ATC or Artist Trading Cards. Artists from all over the world began swapping artwork. ATCs also became very popular in art books and magazines, and contests and meets were set up around the globe. ATCs were also quite popular on eBay.
In 2004, an eBay artist known as Bone Diva (Lisa Luree) decided that she wanted to sell her ATCs, but since ATCs were designed for trading this idea was not well-received by earlier ATC artists. Bone Diva began a separate group of artists and they came up with the ACEO moniker. Today you can find over 3,000 artists on eBay registered in the various groups dealing with ACEOs."
What a brilliant idea for artists!

About Me

My photo
I live in Idaho, but have a great passion for travel. If I am not traveling, I am researching for our next trip somewhere. I found a great need to find personal opinions, views and photos of different locations within a well known destination. As well as those little known sites along the way that are worth a stop at. I hope you enjoy traveling with me and seeing the world through my window seat!
