Description

ACEO/ATC (2.5" x 3.5") - Bookmark
Medium: Mixed Media - paper, paint, ink
Subject: Paper Towns by John Green

Whenever I read a new book I typically make a new bookmark to go along with that book. Since I discovered ATCs and ACEOs I’ve used them as bookmarks. I usually gather information about the book via the “blurb” and the cover design, often mimicking what I see on the cover to create a new bookmark art card. (Basically, I actually judge a book by its cover to create a bookmark art card for that particular book.)

Taking the title literally, I found bits of maps in the newspaper that I then collaged on the art card base to serve as the background. I then painted another section of newspaper (specifically from the Arts and Entertainment section) red. Once the red paper was dry I cut it into mosaic pieces and glued those bits atop another piece of paper. After that was dry, I flipped the paper over and sketched the general shape of a push pin and cut out that shape. Positioning it on the background piece where I thought it looked good, I marked the bottom edge and then used a metallic silver pen to draw the metal part of the push pin. Then I glued the red piece down and completed the card by lining parts of it with black Staedtler pigment liners adding in shadows and defining lines.
