Do you know what ACEO is?

Well, I didn't know until few days ago I saw some on eBay. Those are (as I wrote few days ago) small art creations. They are same size as trading cards, (pokemon as well). But they are, mostly!, hand made originals. People are creating them using, drawing pencils, oil, acrylic colors. Also often using mixed media.

There is huge offer of them on eBay and also quite a lot of demant. I decided last week create some myself. I create them based on my photographs. And I decided to make them in series and so sell it. As it is quite a work with them I will be making really limited editions. So far I made series called Lights of GamlaStan. I made two sets in pure carbon (very light sepia) and two in neutral black tone. And that is. I have planes to make some other series.

I believe, even it is quite time consuming to produce them, their serve as great way to see how my images look and allows people feel more how bigger prints could look. And that is why I will surely make more of them. Now I have in mind at leats two new series.
