Description:

I had a crazy idea the other day when I was thinking about how different everyone's perspective is on art. It seems incredible to me that everyone could see one image and perceive it in ten or maybe one hundred different ways.

++++++++++++++

To honor the spectrum of art and creation we will be using this image^ (the one in the swap photo just above) which can be found by clicking this link, right clicking "save" on the image and adding it to your image collection files to print, or use as a reference. I have asked and it is alright for us to print and use in a noncommercial outlet, ie, our traded art.

You MUST use this image in your atc whether is it printed (it will print out to 3.2 x 2 inches so it won't fill up the whole background, which will give you more opportunity to get more creative!), drawn, made into a hand-carved stamp, or painted, etc. to receive a rating of 5 from your partner. It can be the main image, a smaller detail, or a partial view so long as it is distinguishable to your partner as the same one above.

If there is a lot of interest in this idea, I may post a series and take some ideas on various image subjects/themes to use in future swaps! :)

++++++++++++++++++++

Standard Artist Trading Card dimensions of 2.5 x 3.5 inches on a stiff backing of heavy cardstock or chipboard.

Remember to add to the back of your ATC the name of the swap, the edition numbers, your name AND swap-bot screen name, location where it was made (ex: NYC, USA), and the date the work was created.

No profiles with unexplained 1's or 3's in the past 6 months, no unrated swappers (sorry!).

I will angel if anyone slips up but let's make this a positive swap and follow through on it :) Please message me BEFORE giving a bad rating to see if I can help fix the situation at all.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any info or clarification, happy swapping!

Do you have to use the whole image? (as in can we cut off the background?

@Jokirs A partial image is fine as long as we see that the main part of the image is intact (ie the keyhole and eye)
