ARTIST STORY: I work in all types of materials. and often have to create small test trials.  The tests help me figure out the best process to achieve my vision.   I can make hundreds of small pieces working out a issue. The small pieces are artworks in their own right, but to me they are just residuals.  They are necessary steps of creating my final vision.

I am currently working on a printing process that is very laborious and requires me to create test for each step. I ink up a doily and do a test print for saturation and color correctness.  I would then throw out the tests. At some point, I noticed, I had the most beautiful trash.   I switched to cotton paper for my test so that they would be at least archival.  I had no idea what I was going to do with all the sheets of paper.  All I knew was my residual tests were worth keeping.

After collecting the residual art for a while, I decided that I could take this even further, by creating the test on blank cards. This is how the Arty Card Club was developed.
The Arty Card Club gives you a opportunity to afford a whole collection of paintings.  By the nature of the process their will be no duplicates.  The paintings would look great displayed as a collection on any wall.

Of course, your friends would appreciate it more, if you sent them a card. Consider purchasing a group of cards for yourself and a set to give away.  It would cost very little to frame a card as a gift.  You can also purchase the cards for birthdays, and holidays. Remember they are blank inside and you can write what ever you like.  If you would like a large scale painting look at the one of a kind artwork, offered as the last reward.
