Ascend!

Finished a Seurat Ascension last night, and we have all four together:


Working on some more Watchmen this afternoon. A lot of exciting pieces in the works. Stay tuned!

Pablo Combo

Doing a Picasso-inspired alter isn't the easiest as there's no real reference to base the work off of. I've done a few pieces in this style now. With this one, I decided to go very geometric. But before I settled on a finished design, I wanted to add an element that really screamed Picasso. A small detail from his painting Guernica made for a nice goblin sorcerer.

I've never played Minecraft, but seeing as this is my first 8-bit alter, I thought I'd post it.

Andy Ascension

Remember that episode of Pokemon that gave those kids seizures? Those with a delicate visual cortex may want to look away now. The Andy Warhol Ascension:

We've Got Candy, Get In the Van Gogh

I've done a few Van Gogh pieces now, but I think this card is the most suited for the style.


This is just one in a set of artist-inspired Ascensions. So if you like that sort of thing - there's more to come!

This Is Not a Jace

Quick Art History lesson. René Magritte was a Belgian surrealist painter working throughout the first half of the 20th Century. Much of his work is distinguishable by strange men in bowler hats.

The Son of Man, 1964.

One of Margitte's most famous paintings however, doesn't feature any of these portraits. The Treachery of Images depicts a pipe with the French phrase, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" translating to, "This is not a pipe." Indeed, it's merely an image of a pipe.

The Treachery of Images, 1928-29.

I've always loved Magritte's paintings and for a while I've been looking for the opportunity to create an alter inspired by him. So when Max Sjöblom, of Pro Tour Top 8 fame, asked me to do some artist-inspired alters - I knew I had my chance. Meet Magritte Jace:

Truly, this is not a Jace.

I always forget how fun these weekends are...

Here's a neat shot of the booth:

See you in Baltimore!
