This is a tiny thing meant as an ATC (Artist Trading Card). It’s only 8,9×6,4 cm so its a real challenge getting anything detailed enough to call it an artistic creation in that small a space. I had a plan of entering an artist trading initiative for February with the theme “dynamic duos”.
I was supposed to make three cards so I settled on my own little sub theme: “Royals and their weird pets” and thought the ancient Egyptian princess Isiemkheb and her pet gazelle would be a good start.
I had a plan of creating one of Queen Victoria and a pet donkey too – who knows perhaps I will some day – but when I had finished the first card I did not think the card fitted a “dynamic duo” that well after all.
But then something wonderful happened. When I put the card on my Tumblr account one of my friends there loved it and we ended up swapping cards. So Isiemkheb and her gazelle was shipped to USA to live happily ever after, and I recieved the most amazing tiny work of art from my friend, that I now have at my workspace to enjoy daily <3
