Article: ACEO’s – Art Cards, Editions and Originals
ACEO’s are a sub-group of Small Format Art that I also love creating. ACEO is an acronym for “Art Cards, Editions & Originals” – collectable little artwork gems only 2.5″ x 3.5″ in size. Size is the only guideline for artwork to be defined as an ACEO – they can be created in any al all mediums including collaged items, as long as they meet the size requirement, which is the size of a standard sports trading card.
ACEO’s can be framed and displayed on your office desk or walls or kept in a collection in Trading Card Albums/boxes as a mini art gallery for your coffe table.
Here are a few of the ACEO’s I have created:
“Purple Fudge” acrylic Abstract on mattboard
“Frog On A Log” Prismacolor Pencils on mattboard
“Lost in Thought” Prismacolor Pencils on mattboard
More ACEO’s can be viewed in the ACEO gallery on my website

These are great! I don’t care for frogs (scary!) but the expression on this one’s face is wonderful!

Thankyou! I did this one from an incredible photo provided by another artist in the image library at wetcanvas. I must go and check who it was so I can give proper credit for it. I fell in love with this photo, the facial expression on this guy is so beautiful, it is like you are getting a little glimpse into his soul. I realy wish I had kept this one – I sold it on Ebay for very little money and the buyer never bothered to leave feedback to let me know whether she liked it or not:(
