Artist Quotes

“Every successful painter has worked hard. He

cannot rest after having gained a certain degree

of facility in drawing, and expect to retain it. He

must advance or fall behind. Without practice he

will forget; his eye will fail him; and his hand will

deny its master.” -- Walter J. Phillips

Anne el-Habre has been making art for nearly 40 years, on any blank, lat surface

that happens to come within view. Doors, walls, desks, lockers, trash cans,

napkins, as well as the usual artist’s variety of paper, canvas, and wood – no

surface is safe. Since discovering ATCs (artists trading cards), she has found that

it opens up a whole other realm of possibilities and has been experimenting with

collage, powdered pigments, ink, and pushing the boundaries of her creativity.

Anne owns and operates her own gallery in Savannah, Georgia with fellow IATC

member, Judith Metzger, and is an avid gamer and pirate enthusiast. Anne’s

work can be seen at:

Brittany Noethen is an artist living in a tech manager’s body. She would rather

be decapitated than give up making art, trading ATCs, or stop thinking that the

phrase “Mufins or Bust” is hilarious. She currently lives in Iowa with her partner

Cat, her 12 year old pit bull, Maggie, and shelves full of art supplies.

Leah Budin is a 23-year-old graphic designer who lives in the cow patch best

known as central Pennsylvania. She likes to draw, play, read, make a fair amount

of noise, overuse emoticons, and spend the occasional spare moment with

her spunky little dog and her tolerant boyfriend. She crashes in and out of the

illustratedATCs.com site with sporadic gusto, and hopes to help bring ATCs to

the masses.

Letter from the Editor

DANA DRISCOLL

I ind the dark, cold winter months

to be one of the best times to create art. There

is nothing like staying warm and cozy inside your art

studio, living room, or wherever you create art while the snow

comes down outside. Art created during this time has an almost magical

quality, being inspired by the otherworldly feel of those winter nights. The

winter months are also a perfect time to share art with friends and family. Of

course, who can forget about those art supply gifts from friends and family who know

you well!

Along with this time of wintry creativity comes the

beginning of a new year—with hopes, dreams, and all of

the fun that accompanies this change. One change in the

lives of many artists, writers, editors, and graphic designers

is the creation of a new magazine dedicated to trading art

worldwide – Art Trader Magazine .

On behalf of everyone who has been working for the last few

months to create what you are about to read, It is with great

pleasure that we welcome you to Art Trader Magazine . Art

Trader Magazine is about all things related to mail art- artist

trading cards (ATCs), art journals, post cards, inchies, altered

arts, and more. We plan on illing the pages of this great

magazine with information on art techniques, art galleries,

interviews, product reviews, and much, much more. We

welcome letters and comments from our readers, as well

as article submissions from anyone who has a great

idea!

ATC by Dana Driscoll

Thank you once again for taking a look at Art Trader

Magazine . Be inspired to create great things!
