Her designs and artwork have appeared in books, CDs and DVDs and posters. Sal is currently working on a number of large canvas paintings for art shows. She also enjoys trading ATCs and is an administrator at IllustratedATCs.com. Sal’s favorite artists and illustrators include Joe Sorren, J.C. Leyendecker, William Bougereau and John Singer Sargent. Her favored mediums are acrylic paint, colored pencils and markers. • www.slscheibe.com • www.flickr.com/photos/amerasu Amy L. Sargent is a poet, mixed-media artist, and writing professor living in Roseburg, Oregon. She trades mail art under the artist ID “amyfaerie” at www.atcsforall.com. She lives with her husband, their three cats, and an old, hand-me-down dog. When not writing, making art, or teaching, she is most certainly at the post office or at a thrift store. Angela Kingston-Smith (aka LemurKat) is an illustrator, not an artist. With her quirky, whimsical style she can turn anything cute and her art now graces the walls of fellow artists all over the world, from Guatemala to Madagascar. She hails from the lovely south island of New Zealand, and loves to add a “kiwi flavour” to her art. Kat is also a dedicated bibliophile. Her motto is “always bring a book”. When she is not drawing, reading, sleeping or working, Kat is usually writing (or editing). For more information on LemurKat or to see more of her art, pay a visit to her online gallery at deviantart. • lemurkat.deviantart.com Tracie Rozario Residing on the Sunny West Coast of Australia, Tracie is a self taught artist and lives with her husband, 3 children, 2 cats and 2 dogs. Her preferred medium is anything she can paint or draw with. Her passion lies in fantasy and portraits and much of her work revolves around that theme: fantasy and whimsical style. She believes that her biggest artistic influence is the Impressionist movement. The use of vibrant ‘true’ colors, visible brush strokes and freedom that the movement represents has always inspired her. From taking the step of trading ATCs, Tracie has found herself also creating altered Dominos, art dolls, 4”x4” chunky book pages, 8”x8” journal pages, altered Rolodex address cards and even creating her own line of polymer stamps; things that she would never have known about or even thought about doing. Tracie is a self-taught artist and is a qualified Parchment Craft Australia Teacher and Duncan Ceramics Teacher. She also paints larger works on commission. • www.purplerealm.etsy.com -4- •
Art TRADER m a g a z i n e Editor’s Letter Here at ArtTrader Magazine we have been very excited to announce our new site, shop, and workshop series! The new www.arttradermag.com site is full of new features that will inspire you as an artist. First, we have opened up an ArtTrader Store! Our store currently features a variety of fantastic collage sheets and books produced by artists in our community. The current books featured there include Color: A Collaborative Perspective and The Best of IllustratedATCs.com 2007, both created by artists at IllustratedATCs.com. We look forward to bringing you even more great books, including the ATCsforALL 2008 and the ArtTrader Year 1 Compilation book! We are also very pleased to announce the first two workshops in our new online series—Whimsy Art Part I and Part II. We hope that you’ll be able to join us for these interactive online workshops and that they bring you inspiration. Because not everyone knows what “Whimsy Art” exactly is, we have included an article introducing Whimsy Art in this issue. And, as usual, we have a jam-packed issue full of eye candy, techniques, and so much more! This month we feature technique articles on scanning in your art to display online, an article on Packaging your ATCs for swaps and mailing, and an introduction to collage backgrounds. And if that isn’t enough, we also have a look at the studio of Amy Sargent, and interviews with Karen Cattoire and Shelli Heinemann. We also have our regular columns, including Artistic Journeys, Design 911, Petite Artiste, and more. So read, be inspired, and go create some art! -5- by Dana Driscoll Everyone is here on earth as an artist; to tell his particular story or sing her irreplaceable song; to leave a unique creative signature.
