Small Chocolate Bars



Hallowe'en came and Hallowe'en went.

I staked myself out by the front door. Having recently joined the Modern World, I hooked my portable computing device up to a big speaker, watched Monday Night Football and enjoyed some overproof Cutty Sark.

Soon the children arrived, their parents a few paces away watching for apples embedded with razor blades. One parent came right up to the fucking door and passed me some evangelical bullshit.

No one wastes more paper than fucking Christians.

None of the children wore costumes that would offend shit.

I gave them small chocolate bars.

I gave them Artist Trading Cards.
Then I told them the history of Artist Trading Cards.
After that, I went back inside.
Then I finished the second bottle of wine.
I couldn’t afford.

Gotta ask. What the hell are artist trading cards?

I was wondering about Artist Trading Cards too. Figured maybe Theo was referring to beer bottle labels.

Artist Trading Cards or ATCs are like Baseball cards, 3.5 x 2,5 inch cards with the artist’s work on them. Can be drawings, paintings, collage, prints or reproductions of an original - whatever will fit on the card. Came about because of the ’88 Winter Olympics in Calgary. The artist who started it is m. vänçi stirnemann in 1997.
