About Me
STOP! Flicker has spoilers. Lookers beware! I am a young artist looking to trade ATCs and learn how to make new art. My favorite art to do is altered art and collages. Sometimes they get a little freaky but I try to cater to people in their profiles. I love camping, hiking, music, video games, movies, and chickens. I live in an old house with my family, 2 dogs, and chickens in my back yard, right next to our garden and Coy Fish pond. We do lots of yard work to make our flowers beautiful. i like all colors, but if i had to choose one as my favorite, it would be purple. I go to school and focus on healthcare. I want to become a Firefighter/Paramedic. Currently I work at a coffee bar and it is super fun!
Favorite Music
I love almost all music, besides country. A few of my favorite bands are: CAKE, Gogol Bordello, The Black Keys, The Naked and Famous, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Sufjan Stevens, Ludo, Beck, Ben Folds Five, The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, Paramore, and First Aid Kit.
Favorite Books
I absolutely love to read! My favorite book in the entire world is I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. Other books I like are: The Strain Series, Harry Potter, The Book Thief, Fablehaven, The Lightening Thief Series, The Inheritance Cycle, Sookie Stackhouse, and the Stephanie Plum novels. Update: I just finished The Dead Room by Heather Gram. So so good.
Favorite Movies
I love to watch movies when I can't sleep. My favorite directors are Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino. Almost anything by those two are great. My favorite movies are: Planet Terror, Kill Bill, Fight Club, The Burbs, Sherlock Holmes, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and It's a Wonderful Life.
Likes and Dislikes
I love receiving art in the mail. I like it when the art is hand drawn and original. I HATE stickers and stamps. I love getting extras, especially if they are unique to your area. I love old, antique things, including stamps, pictures, letters. I like flowers, Pin-ups, and candles. I like Masonic symbols and old patches.
Interesting....
Recently, I have become a fan of the supernatural world and what is in it. I love art centered around it. Spells really interest me too. Nothing dark, just holistic things. If you have a supernatural legend where you are from, please send it to me!

Welcome to the group "putting the 'a' back into atc".
Hello @HauntedAdam you say on your profile that you are a young artist looking to trade ATC's, and learn how to make new art. Here in Swap-Bot you should dive into the deep end of the pool that are ATC swaps, handdrawn artwork swaps. In order to receive good quality ATC's you need to do a lot of ATC's yourself. You have plenty of subjects matter for your artwork right where you live: old house, 2 dogs, chickens, garden with beautiful flowers, koi fish pond, etc. Start drawing, painting when you have the time. Begin making ATC's with subject matter you have there near you. It doesn't matter if there aren't ATC swaps for that subject matter, just make them. In future you might use your finished ATC's in swaps. Also, the best way to discover all the possibilities of making ATC's is to collect & keep the ATC's you receive from swaps. There is talent on all levels here. Value this. I'm still learning new things about ATC's & doing different artwork techniques here on Swap -Bot. I make color photocopies of the ATC's I make, before I send them out, the copies I keep in a ring binder notebook as a record of what I've done with ATC's.
Sending a special "Halloween Surprise" your way! Going in the mail tomorrow :) Enjoy!
