With all the work I’ve been doing on the business side of art, I have been sad to note that I haven’t really created any new art and, having been sick and cruddy feeling the last week, I haven’t really had any inspiration to boot! But when I saw the huge numbers of people creating ACEO art on Etsy, I decided to use it as a way to get back in the flow! Since they are so tiny, I’m going to try to make one every few days between other things I am working on, without worrying about subject matter (i.e they’ll probably all be cats :P), to see if it brings some inspiration back to make some true portfolio pieces.

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. They are small trading-card sized works of art so people who normally couldn’t afford original art can still be collectors. You can sell prints or originals, or trade them like Artist Trading Cards! It’s a lot of fun.

Anyway, here is the first one… The Litter Lady.

The Litter Lady was not always such a sorry sight; she was once a world-class cat trainer! Unfortunately, her kitty obsession eventually got the best of her. Now she spends her time burbling in the litter box with her beloved companions forever near–that is, sewed to her head!
