	Andrea Melione (AKA Eraserqueen) is a self-taught artist who has been spreading her love of art since she was very young. She holds a B.S. in Arts Management and is working on a Masters in Public Administration. She loves to create and share with others. This is probably why she enjoys giving online workshops and is such an active member of the mailart and her local art community. Her favorite artists are Michael Parkes, Daniel Merriam, Aubrey Beardsley and her buddies at IllustratedATCs.com where she is a Moderator. She mainly works in watercolor, colored pencil, acrylics, markers and gel pens, though not all at once. She lives in NY (cow country, not the city) and has difficulty writing biographies in the third person. Card Gallery \| Art Blog

	Judith Metzger aka. Jüd (Judithian) is a passionate figurative artist who loves to play with ATC’s. She has a BFA in Graphic Design and has the rare gift of being both right and left brain oriented. She does a variety of freelance and commissioned works ranging from nude portraiture and photo restoration, to web and ad designs. Jüd is inspired by grand lightning storms, poetry, Beethoven, and the romantic artists of past. She enjoys researching and working in themes of mythology, religion and within her own funky dreams. And she is recently venturing into an unusual world of anatomically freakish flowers. You can always find her with a set of gaming dice and a wonderful optimistic nature. Card Gallery
