Swap Due Date - Monday, March 23
Signup/withdraw date - None, but please communicate
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of participants - 20-ish
Join us as we explore the mysteries and mythology of The Deep Sea. The Ancient Aquatic, filled with tales of sea monsters, strange folk and survival --- all a little dangerous, yet still fascinating!
Please read through ALL of the rules. By signing up for the swap, you’ll be expected to follow them.
Making the Art:
- Create original, standard-size ATC's (2.5 x 3.5 inches,) made sturdy and mostly flat.
- Feature a scene celebrating the Mysteries of the Sea! Folklore involving fantastical aquatic beasts like Sea Serpents, Kraken, Leviathan, Cthulhu, Moby Dick, etc. Or other legends like Neptune, Poseidon, Sirens, Mermaids/Mermen and such.
- Open media: Hand-drawn/painted, collage, or a combination of techniques.
- Trim and alter images to make them your own (no stickers slapped onto an ATC blank, and called “done.”)
- Sign the back of each card.
- Please take your time and send your best work.
- The swap is 3 for 3. A host card, extra postage or even a note is always appreciated.
Mailing the Art:
- Send each card in individual ATC/penny sleeves.
- Secure your cards. Using removable tape like washi or painter’s tape to adhere the art flatly together inside the envelope is recommended. Postal machines can wreak havoc on envelopes. Consider taping the outer edges of your envelope for mailing.
- All Players: Send your address on a large mailing label and I’ll provide return envelopes.
- US Players: Please include 1-2 forever stamps.
- Int’l Players: I’ll cover your postage.
- Send a direct message for my address (still in Costa Mesa.)
Other Details:
- Please SIGN UP by posting in the thread.
- Show and tell: We’d love to see your creations, so posting pics of your art in the thread is highly encouraged.
- Communicate: There isn’t a deadline for sign-ups or withdrawals, but players who disappear may receive neutral feedback.
- Once you receive your RETURNS, 1) please post in the thread and acknowledge the players’ whose art you have received and 2) leave FEEDBACK for nanner/your host.
