Available Cards

updated November 21, 2025

NOTE: I have quite a few digital cards.
These are available to anyone who wants them... in DIGITAL format.
Send me a message if you are interested, and we will exchange email addresses.
(If you are a member of ATCsForAll.com we can use the "Direct Mail" feature on that site!)

Usually, I create a PDF so that the recipient can print off an ATC if they want it. Digital cards will have a dark background like this.

Fight! Fight!

Inspired by recent conversations on the Artist Trading Card boards...

A plain old print, from my inexpensive inkjet printer is just OK. for the enhanced version, I print just the black-and-white part of the card shown above then I use a pen to do the overdrawing and also to add some stippling in the background. Finally, I use double stick tape to attach for rope pieces and one pole, and also the arm bands. It has a nice texture look and feel, but of course, each card comes out a little bit different.

I Have a Dream

Cards #2249 and #2250 were created with Procreate, on my iPad.

I made them for the January ATART on ATCsForAll.com

I have TWO variations of #2249, which is 100% digital. These are the top two cards in the photo.

For the third card, I printed the black and white image and then colored it with alcohol markers. I call this type of card a "hybrid" ATC.

From 2024:

The "Silly Symphonies" mash-up cards

These are digital prints. Printed "on demand."

I love the skeletons from Disney's 1929 Silly Symphonies cartoons. So I drew some of them on a layer in Procreate, and then inserted them into a bunch of famous paintings. This series brought me great joy!

SSS13: Washington

Washington crosses the Delaware, accompanied by the skellies.

SSS12: Warhol Soup Cans

I know the Warhol image is copyrighted, but I think as a parody I am okay.

SSS11: American Gothic

Gotta get Grant Wood in this series.

SSS10: Egyptian

This one was the trickiest yet. I plan to re-do it later, but for ATC size, I don't think the mistakes show up too much....

SSS9: Pollock

I was particularly lazy with this one: I used the same tree-climbing skeleton that originally appeared in SSS#5. Four times.

A friend remarked that the skellies look like they are pole dancing!

SSS8: Lacraux Cave Paintings

Very old skellies....

SSS7: The Great Wave

I need to learn some of these artist names so I don't have to keep looking them up.

Tomorrow I shall tidy the website!

SSS6: Seurat

This was a quick and easy one.

SSS5: Manet

I liked the intro for this one:

Today.

Manet.

SSS4: Starry Night

Another ATC friend suggested this one. Of COURSE we need Van Gogh's Starry Night...

SSS3: Judgment

A friend from the ATC group suggested I do one of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings.
They are creepy.
I settled for a PRINT made by Peiter Van der Hayden (apparently this guy made prints of famous paintings....

SSS2: The Scream

Mash-up number two: Edvard Munch's "The Scream," PLUS the Skellies.

SSS1: Monet Bridge

This is the first ATC in a series of "Mash-ups" I made with the skeletons from Disney's "Skeleton Dance," one of the 1929 "Silly Symphonies."

The Shapeshifter Series: October 2024

Shapeshifter: 1

PART ONE: Explanation

This is an ATC that was made on an iPad.

Many ATC artists are against digital art of any kind. If you are one of those artists, stop reading now. This ATC is not for you.

But if you are open-minded, please read on. This piece of art IS hand-drawn.

I used my hands,
an Apple pencil,
an iPad,
and a program called Procreate.

I drew the tissue box, the tissues, and the ghosts using a digital pencil instead of a piece charcoal. Below, I will include the black and white copy of the layer that contains all the hand-drawn parts of the ATC.

Things get a little more complicated when it comes to the background. It was made using a digital paintbrush called "Aurora," from the "Artistic" brushes that come with the Procreate application. I chose the color, the brush width, and the transparency aspects before stroking the color onto a layer. For the final product, I joined two different background layers to get ths look that I wanted. None of this was automatic. The computer did not make these choices FOR me.

Shapeshifter: 2

This is how the black and white layer looks, without the colorful background.

I am offering this as a PDF, for anyone who wants to print a page of ghost ATCs and color them in.

This isn't a trade. I will not need a stamp to "give" this ATC to you. If you want a copy of the PDF, just send me a message through ATCsForAll.com OR through Facebook Messenger if you are on Facebook.

If you ever decide to make your own digital file, I'd be happy to receive a PDF back from you... but it is not required. If you want to know more about digital ATCs, I'll be writing a blog post about it later.

The Doodle Cat Series: Summer 2024: Hybrid cards

Doodle Cats

One of my most popular cards is a design that I call "Doodle Cats." I started drawing these cards early in 2023. Because the cards were all hand-drawn, each was unique. But because I try to fit at least twenty cats in a 2.5" x 3.5" space, all Doodle Cat cards come out looking similar.

The original HD cards all looked something like this: goofy cats with a dotted background.

This type of card takes about an hour to draw, and at the end of that hour my arm may be tired and sore.

So I decided to try to make some doodle cats on my iPad.

Digital Doodle Cats

It took me SEVEN tries to come up with a Doodle Cat file that I was pleased with.

It was designed to be used as a HYBRID card, but if you want the digital file I will share it, in PDF format.

One more digital card that can be printed "on Demand..."

My First Digital ATC

The first time I made a digital ATC, I decided to print only 13 copies.

I had not yet come up with the idea of trading FILES...

If you'd like a PDF of this one, let me know.
