Cat Eye ACEO by Meg Lyman
Ink on ACEO
Although you’ve all given me fabulous ideas about how to clean my scanner (thank you!), I haven’t tried any of them yet. Instead, I blissfully scanned more art, expecting it to turn out horribly. As a result, when it turned out OK, I was pleasantly surprised.
I got a pack of ACEOs when I bought some gouache from someone over on WetCanvas. About half of them make me wonder what in the world people DO with ACEOs. I have shiny, slick, metallic cards, cards with stripes, and hot pink. These black ones look neat, but they’re slick, so I needed light-colored ink to use with them. I’d been wanted to buy metallic brush pens for a while… so I did, and here’s the result. Metallic ink is waaay too much fun. And the scanner handled it OK!

Nibbler by Meg Lyman
ACEO with Brush Pens
SOLD
I got a pack of blank ACEOs (2.5×3.5″ cards) and wanted to try out this textured one. I looked around my desk for something to draw, and my Nibbler doll stared back at me. It’s a still life of a copyrighted character. Anyone have advice about whether it’s OK to sell or not? I don’t want 20th Century Fox to come after me…
