My girlfriend has a real love for boston terriers and I would like to start collecting atc's for a final christmas present display. I'll get you a card back with your choice of theme.

Here are some ideas I think would be interesting to keep them all similar for display:

Pen & ink (solid b&w, no grayscale, no color) --changed since VerdeAzul asked, she did not misread.
One dog per card
White background (no background)- just create an interesting composition with the shape of the dog (they have a strange anatomy, don't you think?)
Distort the dog- each persons distortion will end up different, and these dogs are very 'distortable'
All hand drawn, no prints or collaged-on dogs and no embellishments

Please sign front of card, I will probably mount these on a larger paper and then transfer whatever info you write on the back of the card to the back of that paper. In my hands by Dec. 1, that'll give you plenty of time to create a card and me plenty of time to collect a few. Please pm me if interested.

Actually, I guess you don't have to pm me (unless you want to), I can just check here, but if you do want to trade, let me know what you would like from me so I can start compiling a list.

And about the due date, I just want people to have time to think about if & when they'd like to do this with a good heads up...if you'd like to set up a more specific & sooner date for the both of us, let's discuss.

Do you want the cards to have the whole body showing or can it be portraits as well? What about the medium? Does it matter?

Neither matters, I feel bad being as specific as I did already. Except, I would like some solid black to be involved in each.

You know what, cancel that, I'd like them to be pen & ink. Solid black & white, no grayscale. All the rest remains the same. I was born undecisive, but no more changes, I promise. Sorry.

Do you mean the boston bull terriers? I used to have a couple. Great little dogs.

I actually have a card of one already made (I did it for a dog swap here, but I couldn't muster anything more that was decent)

It has color in it, which doesn't really meet your requirements, but I seriously have no idea what else I would do with it. So I'll just send it to you with your set as a present for her :)

EraserQueen, you are just awesome. And rkolig, I've never heard them called that, but I suppose so...the little black & white dogs that sort of look like gremlins.

Yeah, sounds like one and the same. I googled both names and came up with the same pooches.

If you're still looking for cards, I'd love to do one!
