Well I have to say I have definintely been smitten by the ACEO bug. Does anyone know how or what to use for backing on an ACEO? Is it a necessary? I haven't been putting any kind of backing on mine, afraid it might hurt the artwork. I can see maybe a print but not an original.
Also, a recent customer of mine said I should try drawing Harry Potter ACEOs, says they are really selling fast and hot on ebay. Aren't there copyright issues on drawing HP and selling it? I mean I would hate to have JK Rowling sue me over copyright issues.

As for backing for an ACEO. Generally a backing is not necessary, depending on the type of support you use. If I use vellum film, I have to put a backing on it because of it's fragility but also because the film is semi-tranparent and I use the backing to add color to the whole painting as well as for support to the film (I do NOT attach the backing to the ACEO, I just lay the ACEO on top of it). For all my other ACEOs I do not use any backing.
Welcome to the ACEO nuts group!!! They are addictive aren't they!!
PS: I'm going to note you about a new Arts & Crafts Auction site!!!!

For the most part, so long as you have something sturdy behind it in the film or pouch to keep it from getting a fold, bend, crease or other unhappy accident, it should be fine.
ACEOs are evil... they make me take extended breaks from larger pieces. There's nothing like the "instant gratification" of having a piece finished in a day! *grins*

I would assume copyrights would mean either crediting JK, Warner Bros and/or the actor, Daniel Radcliffe. I am wondering, if I would have to get permission from them, before I sell to the customer or on ebay. So much to consider. I have heard of actors suing artists, for painting or drawing them without permission.

Thanks so much for the input on the backing. I just wanted to make sure I was doing those right.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, I am so slow at drawing larger pieces, it can take me up to 2weeks or longer. I get so excited when I finish an ACEO in about 2 days.
BTW, I got your message in my guestbook. Thanks so much! I would love to exchange links with you. Just note me your site info.

and I found out that this is a very complicated thing. As you can read it here on Wikipedia [link]
On this forum, I think there are some good tips about HP fanart: [link]
I hope this will help you a bit!
