December Doodle – Doggie Doodle

"Doggie Doodle" Drawing by BZTAT

A Facebook friend has a pup named Zorro. She offered him up as a model, so here he is as today’s December Doodle!

This drawing is a doodle, which is, according to Wikipedia, “an unfocused drawing made while a person’s attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.” My doodles often have some focus to them, but they are less formal than a regular drawing. Sometimes the images are somewhat cartoonish and sometimes they are just scribbles and line formations.

For each day from Dec. 1 – 15 (2011) I will make a December Doodle drawing and hold an auction for it here on the blog. These drawings will make nice gifts, and if you want, I will gift wrap and mail to whomever you would like the gift(s) to go. And since animals always are in greater need as winter takes hold, I will donate 10% of the proceeds to a registered animal charity.

Which charity? You help me decide! Post the charity that you would like me to support on my Facebook Fanpage, and I will randomly select from all the submissions on Dec. 15, 2011. (Charities must be for animal rescue, in the United States, and must have a 501(c) non-profit status.)

December Doodles – Rotten Rottie

"Rotten Rottie" Doodle Drawing by BZTAT

I had a request for a Rottie (Rottweiler) drawing, so here it is. Not exactly a doodle, but a little bit less formal than one of my other drawings. I am enjoying playing with a looser style that is creating some fresh new drawings!

Introducing Fun and Collectible BZTAT ACEOs!

ACEO by BZTAT (#1)

Have you heard of ACEOs? According to Rebecca Fairbanks,

ACEOs are collectible little pieces of art. An ACEO is always two and one-half inches by three and one-half inches. That is the size of a standard sports trading card. The rule about size is the ONLY rule in the ACEO world. An ACEO can be created in any medium the artist desires: paint, colored pencils, ink, etc. There are even ACEOs made from wood, clay, fabric, and metal. (Read more about ACEOs.)

Apparently ACEOs became a new trend after non-artists took interest in Artist Tracing Cards, which were only traded among artists. ACEOs are collected by people all over the world and shared in different ways. Some people collect them in the same way sports trading cards are collected; others matte and frame them as minature artworks to hang on the wall.

For me, they are a fun way to put my doodle time into a creative work that could be loved and collected by someone. And since they are small, they are affordable, and can fit in places where wall space is limited.

I decided to try them out and auction some of them here on my website. Each ACEO is an original piece of artwork and will not be reproduced as a print. Although some may be similar to others, no two ACEOs will be exactly alike.

I am posting 3 of them here today. If these go well, we’ll have more to come! Bid in the comments below, but since there are 3 auctions at once, please be sure to state the number of the piece on which you are bidding.  Happy Bidding!
