Two Pink Cupcakes - ACEO print Image Size: 2.5" x 3.5" Medium: Archival Giclee Print on Heavy Photo rag fine art paper by Hahnemuhle Artist: Thaneeya McArdle © Thaneeya McArdle - Please do not use this image without permission. This is an ACEO archival print of one of my funky photorealist paintings, Two Pink Cupcakes. What are ACEOs? ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals", and refer to artwork that is 2.5" x 3.5" - the size of playing cards or baseball cards. They are fun, tiny, collectible works of art! My detailed artwork looks amazing reproduced on this small scale. I've included a photo of my hand holding the print, so you can get an idea of the size of the print (cute!) and the wonderful color saturation. About the painting Two Pink Cupcakes: This painting depicts a pair of pink frosted cupcakes - one with pastel pink frosting, and the other with hot pink frosting - adorned with colorful sprinkles. These cupcakes just seem to pop right out of the wood surface! I enjoy the process of photorealist painting, as it requires intense focus and concentration which usually leads to a rather meditative state of seeing and painting.

This is a test of the final outcome of my project: 8x8" woodblock 1-color print. The larger print size gives me the detail I wanted, the reduced color gives a clearer focus on the essential form. The final book format: - 24 8x8" pages w/ embossed slip cover - Each page is a single color print, with 4 colors used total - Edition of 50, signed and numbered
