Pew Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The guidelines as quoted from Ransom back in the first or second round... This time we will be aiming for a (to borrow from Sailor Jerry) "Stewed, Screwed and Tattooed" theme. Symbols of the harder side of living either at sea or ashore. Anything having to do with drink, tattooing or piercings. While tattoos may still be up for discussion as to being period correct( Tattoo thread ), this is strictly for fun. Think tankards, rum bottles, taverns signs, tattoo designs, small beer, large beer, etc. Please aim to have your cards ready and sent to me no later than July 1st. so I can sort them and send them back at close to the end of July (some may bleed over to the first few days of August because of the sometimes slow postal service). Artist Trading Cards or ATCs, are small works of art traded among artists. The challenge is to be as creative as possible on a small scale. For more information on ATCs click HERE.I'm calling the ones we will do PTCs = Pyrate Trading Cards. The artwork will be the same as the journals—anything goes. The BIG difference between the PTCs and the journals, is that there will be no waiting months and months for a book to come back. PTCs are a one-shot deal. Here is how it will work, if the max of ten people sign on. 1. Each person makes ten cards, one for each player plus themselves — they can all be the same design, or all different. 2. You mail all the cards to me. Include a SASE for return delivery. As the cards come in, I will divide them among each of the envelopes/players. 3. When all the cards are in to me (I will set a deadline), and divided up, I mail them out to all the players. 4. Each artist then receives a packet containing one PTC from each player, for a total of ten. 5. Please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for the safe return of your new set of cards. Done. From start to finish, it shouldn't take more than a month, or month and a half at most. You can display the PTCs in small photo albums, frame them as a group, or for those who have already participated in the journal rounds, you can add these to the empty back pages. So, who wants to play? And remember...it's a QUICK, one-shot deal. No waiting up to a year for a book to come back.

Then I put together 10 cards based on each person…er, scallywag….er, pirate, and I mail em in, right? Are these here cards double sided with the pirate on one side and some sort of design on t’other? Should they be standard playing card size? Will the ten provide some pictures of use to work off of? Is there more rum?

Should they be standard playing card size? Will the ten provide some pictures of use to work off of? Is there more rum? Your on the right track... But it is easier than that (if you want to make it so). 10 folks sign up/volunteer (usually we are just barely able to get 10 people involved, so there isn't any picking). You put together ten cards that are roughly playing card size (2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches). They don't have to be of the people involved. They can all be the same, or if you are ambitious, they can be ten different images. Use the theme as a guideline, and then do ten cards however you want (all the same, all different, or anything in between). Cards can be single or double sided at your whim. Some do double sided cards, some do single sided and just sign the back, others only do one side. You can ask for pics to work from, from the other participants, but you might not get them (although likely you will). After you design your cards, you send all ten to the organizer with a self addressed and postage paid envelope (Pew in this case, he'll give you his address iof you decide to get in on the deal). Media mail envelopes tend to work best (and only cost about $2 in postage) There is always more rum... If you gotta enough coin that is..... Let us know if you have more question!

Ransom Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Here is a link to the PTC photo thread from the first round. It will give you ideas of how different the cards can be. There was no theme for the first three rounds, so it really was "anything goes." Pretty much still it. Round One Cards ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Captain McCool Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Y'know, we never did put up photos or scans of the cards from last round. We probably should. No doubt it would help, plus I'm really curious to see what everyone else got! And I'm already cooking up ideas for this round... the tattoo concept intrigues me. I have been meaning to work on tattoo design, as I don't generally do work like that.

I have been meaning to work on tattoo design, as I don't generally do work like that. as you can see- I posted the scans for my cards- but because I bulk loaded 'em I couldn't add a description of each. also- I have a duplicate that I can't figure out how to delete. <sigh> at any rate- lookin' forward to the next round! It's outside of my comfort zone too- something I've never done, as well. It'll be interesting to see what we all get out of this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsbagley Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 is there a deadline yet as to when the cards must be done? I think the tentative target is the end of June, but a firm target generally isn't set until we have enough participants. So if this is your way of asking in, please let us know!
