all about my art

This swap is for anyone that considers themselves an artist and who would like to connect on a personal level with other artists. I thought it would be fun to put together a package/envelope all about the type of art you do, what you are working on, etc.

The items to include in your package/envelope are:

• a letter describing yourself artistically speaking: what type of art you like to make, what inspires you, your favorite artists or styles, your background, etc.

• 3-5 questions you would like your partner to answer about your art. This is your opportunity to gather information and feedback about your work.

• a piece of your original art work. The size/medium/subject are up to you, but the piece must be at least standard atc size. ATC artists are most welcome. Please do not send a photograph of your work unless the photograph is the work.

• a link to your online art portfolio (blog, website, flickr) OR photo quality print outs of at least 5 artistic pieces you have made in the past. Most people have an online presence but I did not want to exclude anyone.

If you would like to include extra art, promotional items related to your art (like artist postcards), or anything else you feel would enhance your partner's experience of you art please feel free to do so. This is not a requirement.

The art being sent, as well as the type of media used and the subject matter of the art are all sender's choice. Nudity is allowed as long as it is not used in a pornographic context.

Disclaimer Art is a subjective term, interpreted differently by each of us. That being said... this swap is not for crafts like scrapbooking, handmade jewelry, quilting or knitted items. Swappers signing up should be prepared to showcase their passion and expression in visual fine arts such as painting, illustration, mixed media, collage, sculpture, photography, etc.

Rate a 5 if your partner has sent you everything in the must send list. Do not base your rating on whether you like their art.

International swap. You must have a 4.9 rating, no recent no-sends, and no shady activity to participate. I reserve the right to ban anyone I feel will not follow through, including people who only have ratings based on online swaps. I will angel if there are any flakers.
