Project 365, Day 70

March 11, 2010

This is a maximum ATC, meaning that it reproduces a stamp. The stamp is on the back of this ATC. IO would have preferred to put the stamp on the face of the ATC but it was a large and would cover large part of the drawing.
Executed in marker and colored pencil on poster board.

These ATCs are for the AFA On the Map Swap. They are marker and real used stamp on map collage. ATCs depict life in the United States of Zizkov in the 1930's under Prohibition. Chicago style gangs led by Al Kapoun were running S.S. Zizkov (S.S. is an abbreviation for United States in Czech) making and running sodas and other soft drinks and operating soda dens after Zizkov seceded from The City (as Prague was known). As you may have guessed this was a reverse Prohibition.

N.B Zizkov is part of Prague, Capital of Czech Republic. ATCs are based on a satirical book about Zizkov from late 1930's.

This ATC is from my series of Maximum ATC's. Maximum cards in philately is a picture postcard with stamp on its face and a postal cancellation and all three items must be concordant. Here, I obviously do not have the postal cancel since I'm not using a postcard.

Marker and mint stamp on card stock.

These ATCs are from the Cathedral Series and are acrylics on matboard. There is a horizontal gold interference color stripe running across the center of the card. The gold color is transparent and does not scan well. It signifies gold gilding on all those statues of saints and throughout Catholic churches.

These cards are from the new series Homage to Eve Aschheim, an American painter. These cards freely interpret her works consisting of lines. This reminds me a bit of the Constructivist art of the 1930's and the Russian Avantgarde, Lisitsky comes to mind immediately.

January 22, 2010, January 23, 2010, January 24, 2010, January 25, 2010

These ATCs were made for a Monochomatic Swap on AFA. They are all colored pencil and marker on watercolor paper. The titles are Dinner Soon!, Nice Hair, Standing Tall, and Storm. I had great fun making these cards and I let the creative juices flow freely. I like these images and although they remind me of the images of late painter Phillip Guston they are totally diffrent from his imagery. I think I will make few sculptures with these kind of images. The last card is a gift for the hostess.

These ATCs are so called Zentangles. They are black marker (fine Sharpie) on poster board. If you have never tried Zentangles you missed a good thing. Just divide an ATC into irregular areas using somewhat curvy lines and fill each area with some sort of line, symbol, visual element, or geometric graphic. Observe that there is no such thing as a bad Zentangle. They are all pleasing to the senses.

These ATCs are from the Crime Series and are titled Tire Marks and Fingerprints #1, #2, and #3. These cards are acrylic paint on matboard. The "tire marks" were made by dipping a corrugated cardboard in paint and stamping it on the card. "Fingerprints" are my fingerprints.

The ATCs for days 12, 13, 14 are a part of 3 card series Homage to Agnes Martin that I just started and are part of an Abstract Geometric Swap on AFA. This is a watercolor and graphite on paper.

The last card which obviously is not part of the Agnes Martin series is for Day 15 and is a gift to the hostess of the swap. It is acrylic color on matboard. The title for thios card is Grass in Moonlight.

The "grass" was created by stamping a staight 6 inches long palette knife dipped in acrylic paint.
