I love the idea of ATCs, and the small format is sort of freeing. Sitting down to draw in a 2.5 x 3.5" area is somehow less intimidating than a whole blank page. I've had lots of ideas for ATC themes. At one point I wanted to do a pen and ink ATC for every book I read for a year. Of course, the flaw in that plan is that there are all sorts of things in my head that I'm really not competent to draw yet. And I read a lot. I'm still considering it; probably a better idea to start and try to keep up with it for a year than to remember what I read in the last year.
I could relax it and use mixed formats. I just finished Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, and that would be a nice abstract card with lots of CAPIT ALIZE DTEXT INGRO UPSOF FIVEL ETTER SXXXX.
I drew this Koi design and copied it to five cards with puff paint, then filled in with alcohol markers. A couple of these are traded away, some I still have.

Cool! Koi make such a great motif!
I was inspired by the koi painted on pillars under a freeway overpass that I pass by frequently.
