Above Average Sketch Cards
I created my own sketch cards so I can offer drawings on demand for people who insist on buying Above Average Art from me. I like branding myself and I love drawing on small cards with my name, website and a non reproduction blue box printed on them. A sketch card is a blank or branded trading card sized peice of paper that an artist will draw on to different levels of quality. They are collectable, fun and unique. Above is my Above Average Sketch Card in all it's 2.5"x3.5"
