Artist Sample Print Cards were invented as a promotional tool for the self-publishing artist or any artist really who finds themselves facing the daunting task of promoting their art and prints. Artist Sample Print Cards are a convenient size as they fit into a standard #10 envelope making them easy to mail by regular mail and at reasonable rates. The size is easy to print on the artist's production printer and, when done well, represents the full size Giclee Print faithfully. Artists can leave these attractive cards with friendly business for customers to see and take. Artist Sample Print Cards can be used in mailing announcements such as new releases or gallery events.

Artist Sample Print Cards have some similarity to Artist Trading Cards. There are however some important differences.

Size: An Artist Sample Print Card has an image that measures 3.75" on the smaller side. The larger side is determined by the proportion of the original image and varies to accommodate and maintain the image's proportions. It is larger overall to include artist and print information on the front. Artist Trading Cards are a smaller standardized size identical to sports trading cards, the image may be altered to fit this standard size, and artist information is generally on the back of the card.
Purpose: Artist Sample Print Cards are more promotional in nature allowing artists to extend their audience to people who may not see their shows, gallery, or website. Artist Trading Cards are often used by artists to share their work with each other and are traded between just two artists or distributed in circuits for a group of artists to view. Many artists feel Artist Trading Cards should never be sold and should only be exchanged or traded. It should be noted that there is some element of promotionality in the Artist Trading Cards as well as the Artist Sample Print Cards. There is also a growing market for both of these cards.
Collectability: Artist Trading Cards maybe printed, hand drawn or hand crafted. They can be collected based on their content or the artist who created the card. Artist Sample Print Cards are miniature works of art and can be as collectible as Artist Trading Cards with the understanding that great care and effort went into making the printed cards. As a collectible Artist Sample Print Cards have the potential to give the public access to an artist's body of work.
Artist Information: Artist Sample Print Cards include artist and print information on the front of the card. Artist Trading Cards generally have this information on the back of the card since there is no room for it on the front. Artist and print information on the front of the Artist Sample Print Card gives the viewer instant access to this information and hopefully can generate interest in the artist by associating the image with the artist's name.

All of the images at Gallery Renee are available as limited edition giclee prints and come with a certificate of authenticity.
