ACEOs

ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions or Originals), or ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) are small works of art the size of a baseball card — 3.5 x 2.5 inches. For an overview of their history, you can read this entry in Wikipedia. Cards are either original one-of-a-kind works of art, or prints (generally limited editions). Many people collect ACEOs just like any other kind of trading cards; some keep them in standard trading card binders, some frame and display them. It’s a great way to collect lovely yet affordable art. That they’re limited editions adds to the appeal and value.

Cloudery is offering ACEOs of selected drawings at the Etsy shop. These illustrations are professionally printed editions of 100 — giclee prints on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper (100% Cotton Rag, Acid Free Base, 260gsm, lightfastness rated at 61 years).

For every four cards that Cloudery sells, one book will be donated to First Book. Read more about Cloudery’s mission to help child literacy on the About page. Below is a gallery of cards, numbered in the order of their release. Once an edition sells out, it will be marked as such. If you’re interested in purchasing cards, visit the Etsy shop. If you are interested in purchasing multiples of particular cards, or have any questions, you can always use the contact form for any inquiries or comments.

Framing services, as well as upgrading to cards affixed to ready-to-hang handmade Plywerk wooden panels, are available in the Etsy shop.
