Grab Bag III

Busy clearing out my queue for this weekend at SCG DC. Here's some of the stuff I've finished up this week.

Tony Moore and zombies rock!

One of my first 8-bit alters.

My very first Renaissance alter.

 Just kidding. Down with SOPA/PIPA!

See this weekend in DC!

Pearl

Finished this Mox Pearl last night. Based on the Unglued Plains by Christopher Rush. 

One of the few times I've posted a card that's still up grabs. It's being auctioned over on my Facebook page. Check it out!

Awesome!

Awesome I blew up all your guys!

A really simple one, but I like the way it turned out. Reminder to those who haven't visited my Facebook page already. I've moved the bulk of my posts to that page. Also in a little over a week I'll be at my first event of the year: SCG DC. Remember to stop by and say hello!

Happy New Year

First alter of the year, and coincidentally my first Klimt-inspired alter. Elesh Norn:

Complete with Kung Fu action!

Ending on a Lotus

The Guru Moxes that are displayed above are probably some of my best known works from the past year. They were originally commissioned by Wes Wise, buyer for StarCityGames, just a few short months ago. They're changed hands since, but I had an opportunity to meet the current owner earlier this month at SCG Charlotte. He approached me about commissioning an accompanying piece to the Moxen. The idea: a Guru Black Lotus.

This was to be my third Lotus alter of the year, and they've all raised different challenges. This time the question was, how does one Guru something that produces all five colors of Magic? The solution was to combine all of Nielsen's original landscapes into one colorful background. And here's what that looks like:

It's been a great year starting a new business and running this blog. 2012 is sure to bring lots more painting and hopefully some awesome alters! I'll continue to update here with the best pieces, but be sure to like the Klug Alters Facebook page to see even more work. Thanks for all your support and have a Happy New Year!

Queen of Japan

The surface on this Japanese Sliver Queen didn't look so hot so we gave her a complete makeover!

Tales from the Crypt

Fixing up Judge promos, one card at a time. Like the way this turned out. Obviously based off of Mark Tedin's original Crypt.
