Hello there and welcome to Deviant Arts ATC club.

The purpose of this club is simple, yet delightedly fun, and that is for the members of DA to both send and recieve ATCs between each other. It's a wonderful activity and it's made even more special by the fact that DA spans several countries and many different art forms.

Ahhh, but what is an ATC? I hear you ask.
ATC is an acronym for Artist Trading Card. They are small, unique pieces of art traded between the artist comunity. On the back you put your information, on the front you put your artwork, you send it to another artist (who will no doubt cherish it) and recieve one in return. The concept is simple, but the results are amazing.

Each round a theme is chosen by our members. Each ATC is made to fit that theme. This is absolutely perfect for when you're stuck in a rut and can't think of what to do next. We've all been there. But now you have something specific to focus on.

Each card is made specifically for this game. No one else will have this piece of art you are recieving! How amazing is that? And all it cost you was a bit of time and effort.

You are exposed to various cultures and mediums and ideas all through participating in a few rounds of this game, as our members now span 4 countries, and we're growing in popularity.

DA is a big site, you might never have seen some of the art you recieve through the post.

The world is a big place, if your working on Commission, this is a great way to get your artwork into the world. People talk about their ATCs, people display them with pride.

Are you interested? Good, well here's how it works:
:bulletgreen: Add the club to your watch list, and make sure you watch the journals.
:bulletgreen: Send the club a note with your postal address.
:bulletgreen: When a theme is picked and we're ready to start a round, I will send every participant an address to send to.
:bulletgreen: You make your ATC in accordance to the theme.
:bulletgreen: You send your ATC out by the deadline.
:bulletgreen: You recieve your ATC.

Remember to photograph your ATC and upload it as a deviation. Send this to the club so we can display it proudly on our page.
Remember to let the club know when you've recieved your ATC.

ATC Round One - Drawing to a close

Wed Aug 5, 2009, 7:40 AM
Ok, so the deadline for finishing your cards has been and gone. Has everyone managed to get theirs done on time? Are some of you feeling guilty for only just getting them finished? And is everyone looking forward to seeing what they're going to recieve?

Don't worry if you've not managed to get yours in the post by the deadline, a few people have messaged me saying it will be in the post this week. That's fine, you will still be allowed to participate next time. Don't worry. So long as you send it within a reasonable time everything is fine.

Have you recieved yours yet? Would you like to try and guess who you'r sender was? Here's a secret, you didn't send to and recieve from the same person.

Did you recieve more than just the card? A little note perhaps? Talk about it below.

I want to hear who's sent, who's recieved, who you think you recieved from, if you got any little surprises. I'm dying to know how it went for everybody!

You're welcome.

I figured this would be the easiest way to give everyones art the recognition it deserves. I love everyones efforts so they deserve a fave, plus whenever anyone sees the art on the club page it's linked directly to the artist so you get all the comments and faves, not the club.

:hug: Totally awesome! I can't wait to see the others. :D

"Now, Mr Lucas, I must ask you, if we grant you parole, will you kill again?" He answered, "Yes, sir! If you release me now, I will kill again." Three months later, Henry was out on the streets.

I'm going to start round 1 when I find one more person ^_^ We can do it with five people, I'm sure.
