Hi all,

[I’m hoping to maybe make this a series if there’s enough interest.]

The deets: Are you a digital artist? Love to buy digital art and create other digital pieces with it? Want to collect some digital stationary so you can print it and write your future swap partners in style? Then join us!

The challenge: You’ll create one sheet of digital stationary (including more - whether more stationary or more images, is up to you!), legally owned by you (check your license if you purchased the images/fonts), and share it with your partner for personal use.

For more details (and this swap’s origin - it was definitely a group effort!), feel free to check out this forum topic: http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/146617. PM or comment with any questions as I’m happy to help. This swap’s purpose is to share in the broad wealth of talent found on this site and to enjoy the talents of others.

Your partner will rate you a 5 if sent by the due date, and they received one digital sheet of stationary as well as the why/how of its creation. Hearts and accolades are up to the rater, but are encouraged. ;)

Sorry newbies! You’ll need at least 10 type 2’s to participate, and no 1’s/3’s in the last calendar year. I happily angel.

Note: there are tons of free/copyright free images out there for your use. I also happen to love Creative Market, and they provide 6 free digital art pieces every Monday when you create a free user account ( just in case you’re a beginner and you’d like to stick your toe into the digital art pond. It’s super fun!) I also purchase art at AC Digitals (that’s the digital American Crafts site for collections like Pink Paislee, etc), as well as Design Cuts. But you really don’t need to purchase anything for this swap. If you have a digital pencil, you can also create your own images.

Hi! I myself cannot do anything digital, however, I do feel that the effort involved in this swap should make it type 3. :)

:-( I'd love to join, but don't have enough swaps. Is there any way to wheedle my way into your good graces?

@Roo I fully support the concept that digital art IS art and would hope that others would support it too. Sadly, I don’t think folks would ‘get it’ if I turned it type 3. They would then wonder if they then had to ship out a printed copy, no?

I dunno, I’m totally open about this though. If other digital artists concur, I’ll gladly change it to type 3 with a disclaimer or something. Thanks for the feedback! Are you sure you don’t want to join??

@kingCarmen consider yourself wheedled. I am angeling after all, so those with mixed backgrounds (eg, long user history and rated additional type 3s) can also apply.

A type 3 swap is "any time intensive swap". I think that it takes very little effort to email a photo or add a pic to someone's profile...those should be type 1 swaps. Creating original digital art involving use of photoshop or similar programs should be type 3.

If your art is a purchased file and it is being emailed, I would say it is a type 1.

Most type 2 swaps are postcards and short letters.

Alrighty it’ll be changed. :)

My victims have been sent their swap files. Here is hoping that an email from a strange address with an attachment doesn't get caught up in your spam filters!
