ACEO sized drawings


Four of the ACEOs I've sold through Ebay, where I'm selling small sized artworks via Itsypics.

The ACEOs are shown with their Certificates of Authenticity, which I provide for each piece.  The matchstick symbol on the front of the COA is a Logo I designed for my Itsypics sales, an 'i' for Itsypics.  The flame stands for the spark of inspiration which I am eternally hopeful of.


A mixed media piece I've been working on (and off) since before Christmas.  It's pen and acrylic ink with airbrushed acrylic ink for the larger coloured areas.  A combination I still haven't got right yet.

I like the discipline of the ACEO size (3 1/2 x 2 1/2in) so much that I've begun to make a few ACEO sized drawings around the house.  It's been too long since I drew from life, so this will bring 2 aspects of my work together hopefully.  I intend to make a series of these drawings in every room of my home over the next few months and display them together as a complete piece.

The drawing above shows my Mum's slippers where she leaves them in the hall.

The drawing below shows Mum's tatty old shoes stuffed with wool and old Jay cloths, left again as she always leaves them, in the hall by the kitchen door.

Mom leaves things habitually anywhere and everywhere.  She stuffs her shoes with wool because she says it makes them more comfortable.
