So, enough of the "poor me" post from yesterday. Episode 46 is playing in my ear as I do final edits before pushing it out. And, too much attention to yesterday's post has left me feeling exposed and embarrassed. So, moving on... Probably you've already seen these at Flickr since I posted them individually before I mailed the one on the right out to my recipient at the end of April. I have to admit I have a favorite here. But, I won't say which. I like them all, and they do feel like a series to me even though the coloration on the final one is very different. All are on gessoed cardstock with a bit of phone book transfer adding a bit of texture and messy "underneath" text to the background of each.
As you can tell, I'm still doing my "own" thing with the ATCs. My approach (right now) is different than a lot of what I see out there in ATCland. But, I'm just following my own bent. As it should be.
I know what you mean about the style of ATCs. There is a part of me that believes that the painterly ones I do aren't as sophisticated as the collage-esthetic that seems to be dominating the Flickr groups. I am prouder of the crafting of them, but when I see them up in pixels they don't seem as impressive.
It irks me, because I *am* so proud of the drawing and painting skills I'm working on yet the product seems less worthy.
I love how they all tie together. I am in awe of anyone that can draw!
