ATC First try, Squirrel Nuts


This is my first attempt at an ATC (Artist Trading Card). It sucks, but I was mainly playing with the size limitation and not exactly attempting to be horribly creative. I keep getting these flyers from my phone company encouraging me to sign up for dish network (I don't watch television but sure, why NOT spend an extra $80 a month so I have 300 channels to not watch instead of just the 15 or whatever I'm not watching now?). These ads have these squirrels all over them, because it's a "nutty deal". The squirrel cracks me up so one day I just cut one of them out and he fit on the card so I thought why not. The nut is a scrap of packing paper from work. The comment is just the truth about my life sometimes. So not terribly creative or brilliant but it was a fun exercise in pulling found materials into a tiny project. Now if I could just get a hold of my creative muse and try something that is actually artistic!
