Scratchboard ACEO #1.

Original Scratchboard (silver) Art Card

Well, here's scratchboard aceo #1.

I think the scratchboard itself looks very cool... but I don't think my photograph does it any justice at all. I'm still trying to figure out the photograph of a black & silver reflective surface. I was rather excited to post the artwork online (it's on Etsy already - $10 for those who may want to own it).

The back of the card is signed and dated, and it some inside a protective plastic sleeve (just like the one used for hockey cards).

It was really fun to create. The idea of starting without any concept of a completed image design or theme was very refreshing and interesting. It think this is even more 'freeing' because the scratchboard is a completely unforgiving medium.... there is not erasing, no going back.... you can only move forward with the artwork. The final scratched board is one-of-a-kind, without any way to duplicate it. In that way the whole process is the exact opposite of the digital artwork that I have been creating.

Now I just need to get this photography of them figures out.
