ACEOs are having a moment, and your gel plate is the perfect way to jump in. These tiny 2.5" x 3.5" original artworks are collectible, affordable, and ideal for eBay auctions where buyers love the thrill of bidding on small but mighty pieces.

Meet Acrylica, a gilded, halftone pig and unofficial mascot of gel printers everywhere. This multi-plate monoprinting project combined laser image transfers, Photoshop halftones, a DIY Cricut stencil, and some risky gel medium experiments. With layers of texture, tea bag “fabric,” and a golden aura, Acrylica emerged as a playful, reverent tribute to gel printing.
