Day 15: ACEO: The Schnoz
Schnoz refers to the large nose on this guy. I remembered the term from watching Jimmy Durante on TV as a kid, a very young kid. They referred to him then as The Great Schnozolla.
ACEO refers to the size - 2½” x 3½” - also called an ATC or artist’s trading card. Signed by artist. Complete contact info on back - comes in a protective sleeve. The photo looks bigger, but it is truly the size of a baseball card. Original, not a copy, painted with acrylics on heavy paper.
