I'm very pleased to share some art from a new Magic card! Grakk the Pacifist. he is very much this guy in the Pacifism card. It is oil on panel. #mtg #magicthegathering #magicartist
Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞

The first return to Zhalfir since March of the Machine in 2023, and the first time we will see it as a plane all its own. Afrofantasy comes to Magic: The Gathering with #MTGZhalfir.
I am doing a Magic art exhibition at an art museum Pokémon is doing a faux-fossil exhibition at a natural history museum Partner sponsor seen today:
All-time English moment was making the word “slippery” instead of “slippy”
youre telling me theyve done 8 Dungeon Crawler Carls in 5.5 years ?
And just like that, tomorrow has become today 7 years online as Interesting MTG Art feels so wild. I'll be sharing thoughts and feelings about this throughout the day, but know up top that I'm happy to share an online space with you all, and am happy to be here. Human-made Magic art forever
Tomorrow is the 7-year(!!!) anniversary of Interesting MTG Art, btw Pretty neat!
Working hard at my art but I'm still job hunting. Still lurking the LinkedIn alleyways. I have 5 yrs PgM experience with 12 yrs of leadership/vendor relations experience AND MORE! So if you have any leads at all, or if you are looking for someone to join your team, I come highly recommended!
What a pleasant dive into the canon-compliant niche within a niche that is UB reskins. It's a joy to read these getting puzzled together, and tangentially to wonder what cards certain artworks have been rescued from (before looking them up via diligent art credits)
My article today blends reflection with creation: I analyze the messy process of developing Universes Within proxies--& share my own. In a world where IP peddlers depend on making people passive consumers, it's liberating to be unofficially creative. give it a read! substack.com/home/post/p-...
New blog post about things that grind my Pheldda-gears! Ooh, I get me so angy when these things happen to me! These are my Pheldda-gripes! Grr!💜💜💜 phelddagrif.quest?p=505

It’s my birthday today (not really) and I’m going to get some stuff off my chest!

I was on the Creative Text team for Nauctis and it's genuinely the greatest set I've ever worked on. If you love more traditional Magic worlds, this is your moment. Pure high fantasy in a new setting with so much respect to both the real world natural inspirations and the story of the world itself.
the (early, general) enthusiasm about kamigawa titanbreach fuels my suspicion that "hat set" is more a cliche people like to repeat than a useful aesthetic judgment. ppl SAY that it's the problem with MKM/OTJ/DFT, but clearly the promise of doing a genre can be really exciting for lots of people
My literal reaction when a new CASCADE CASCADE article drops. Don’t be a villain to your brain, read this right now! 💜💜💜

For the unititiated: back during Mirrodin Besieged block, WotC wanted to advertise for the set after the Mirrodin-Phyrexian conflict, but not reveal the victor! As such, a lot of promotional material advertised the fight could go either way. With "Mirrodin Pure" being the Mirrodin Victory. #Vorthos
Early reveal at MagicCon Amsterdam Is this implying what I THINK this is impying?!?! Looks like from the Reality Fracture commander deck.
for @cascadecascade.com I discuss the messy intersection of flavor and mechanics in Magic's villains. should we be ABLE to defeat the Eldrazi? what's it look like when villains only appear offscreen? is yawgmoth just a big ass building or what? answers below: www.cascadecascade.com/the-mechanic...
