ACEO - Grumpy Fish

I like ACEOs as a format, but I cannot possibly draw that small. My fingers are not fat, but they are fumbly, and working in such a teeny tiny space makes my eyes twirl in opposite directions.
But I'm not bad with an exacto knife and gel medium, and I have a GREAT printer. So I'm fooling with some ACEOs made via collage. (The fish was painted digitally, printed out, glued onto heavy illustration board and cut out, so it's got a neat 3-D effect on the final.)
Original is for sale--I have no idea what to list these for, so I'm ebaying it--and I think I'll be offering a limited edition of 8 prints at ACEO size, again, price to be determined, but probably not very much. I just like the size. It's so wee! It allows for such straightforward imagery! It would fit into such a nice little slot at cons!

say, what does ACEO stand for? :3
This reminds me of my grandfather......
This is really cool, I like how it's a random sort of thing (out of context if nothing else). I dig it.
cool
but why is he grumpy? o3o
That's cool! I like it! ^^
I dig this
Anything with fish is automatically wonderful. This is ten times the awesome.
Very cool!
Something about this makes me want to name a band "It Was A Grumpy Sort of Fish" and use this as a poster.
it's great but why so smaaaaal ? :/
Ive never heard of an ACEO and had to google it. I find the concept amazing. I think knowing what it is and how it works completely changes my thoughts on seeing this piece now. When you said small, I dont think it occured to me THAT SMALL. What a wonderful piece, as all your works are. I agree... too bad this wasnt bigger. Would have been tempted to make it a hanging at my new apartment. Seems like one of those conversational kind of works.
He's such a cuddly wittwe grump. n___n
one of your best 
...even in mignon series, you still rock!
Love this one, I only wish it was bigger.
cute! ^_^
Is that a quote from something?
