Trading Cards
The Art Hustle 1 boxes
A batch of finished boxes for The Art Hustle 1 series. Cards have been attached to the tops, and corners glued. They are shrink wrapped them to keep them safe from scuffing.
Work by The Art Hustle series 1 artists, found in Montreal
Went to Montreal for a visit over the July 4th weekend (very patriotic!). Spotted some art by The Art Hustle participants:
Omen Graffitti
Omen produced some great sketch cards for the series.

Next we came across a large piece by Ron English:
A version of Grin, by Ron English.
Hanging at the Yves Laroche Gallery in Montreal, it is another version of Grin, which is the image used in Ron’s printed art card from the series.
Suckpax specialty cards, signatures
The Sucklord signing cards for each box. Taking a break from the hard work, he is shocked by what he sees on Ebay.

Pulling base card sets
We have setup stacks of all the base cards (162). Task is to pull one of each to collate a base set. Rinse. Repeat.
We’re trying different methods to collate base sets. First method was to take a handful of one card, then deal out one into each box bin. Then pick up a stack of the next card, and deal that one out. Repeat 162 times. This second method, walk around pulling one of each, seems to be faster, which surprised me.

Suckpax 1 sheet cutting
Found some pictures of slicing the sheets up into individual cards.
There are 50 cards to a sheet, and first task is to slice the sheets into strips, then into individual cards. I had a row of card boxes prepared to receive cut cards. A sample of each card was taped to the end of the box. This is very handy for managing the cards later, not having to open every box to find a certain card.

The first edge has been sliced off of these sheets.
