art by julee

I’m J. Boyd; full-time wife/mother, part-time artist. I am a self taught artist who works mainly in acrylics & watercolor. My preferred format is miniature art, most commonly ACEO. Though my artwork doesn't usually have blatant Christian themes or influences, I consider myself a Christian artist. I believe God made many kinds of beauty & create cards with a variety of themes.

I currently sell my art on eBay under the user ID julee_bug. If you are interested in purchasing any of the art in my gallery, just click on the price below the thumbnail. If you see something you like that has already been purchased, contact me regarding a print. Also, many of my designs are available on merchandise; such as mugs, greeting cards, magnets and clothing; in my CafePress shop. Let me know what designs you’d like to see available in my shop.

Miniature Masterpieces: A Brief History of ACEO

Artist trading cards (ATC) are 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch miniature works of art made to be traded or given away. They can be any medium and are produced as originals, limited editions, or in series.

ATC have been around almost as long as art has. They have always been used by artists, especially during the Impressionist years, to trade with fellow artists so they could study each others techniques without money being involved.

However, this left the general public at a disadvantage. Some enterprising artists saw the demand and began making art cards available for sale. These are known as Art Cards, Editions and Originals (ACEO) and they, too, are 2 ½ x 3 ½ inches in size.

Artists from every corner of the globe are offering these miniature masterpieces in every conceivable medium, style, and subject. They are collectible, affordable and portable!!

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9
