🎤My name is CJ and I'm here to say/
Magic doesn't have to be expensive to play!
If you see a card that you'd like to get/
Grab a sticker and proxy it!
Two Phyrexian Tower proxies draw in black ink on Avery nametag stickers. On the left, three of the suns of Mirrodin are in a hazy sky. In the middle ground, the Phyrexian insignia forms a spire in a field from which flows glistening oil. On the right, two black megaliths form the Phyrexian insignia in the negative space between them.

A cloud that looks to me like a grumpy cartoon shark facing left.

I didn’t think Id have time to draw. But had a shit day and needed to destress. So finished the sketch I meant to finish tomorrow (could have spent more than 2 hours on this and probably should have done)

Counter target spell.

Did a batch of these, I always debate whether to post them as a group or just highlight individual pieces.

Available - Commissions Open

An altered Counterspell with the rules text "Counter target spell." in large calligraphy. Didn't realize that one guideline would still be so obvious but oh well.

No they didn't. Kraft specified organizations "in the region" which means he donated millions to Israel. Like he always has.

Balatro enjoyers might be interested to know there's essentially a Balatro with dice game called Dice A Million that I've been enjoying the past week.

So stoked to have card alters get some real love here, introducing this corner of the game to a much wider audience!

Thank you Prof and thank you @bobbiechristine.bsky.social 🥰

Here's my latest... not finished in time for the video, but I'm really pleased with how this panorama came out.

You guys know "I'm sorry, Jon?"
Anguished Unmaking. Loot, imagined as a drooling, bloated, monstrous horror. He says, "I'm sorry, Jace" A human figure is being atomized and drawn into the helix of Loot's tail.

Absolutely to brag on myself, but I really cooked with this one. Deets in the alt text.
A pair of Autumn's Veil and a pair of Veul of Summer In Autumn's Veil. A hooded figure with a mask of red fringe stands in front of bundles of harvested wheat. His cloak contains the symbols for the zodiac signs of the fall months. Under the buttoned cowl, a symbol of my own representing the equinox is visible. In the Veul if Summer pair. A figure in a red mask stands with his arm outstretched In the other direction. His cloak is similarly lined with zodiac symbols. He stands in a field of sunflowers and his chest has a symbol that I think corresponds to the summer solstice. The four cards are arranged so that the one is standing behind the other. Micron pens and red pe on stickers.

Who are you going to get next time, Skeletor?
An even closer crop of the Ajani card. He's now howling with one fist in the air and the text says, "theM."

63,64,65/75 In my mind, the Dimir Doppelganger isn't a mage, and so I tried to keep the spells in this deck non-magical. I figure there's an item in the Dimir League that can use magic when consumed, and I tried to convey that by integrating the seal into these Negates.
Three abstract drawings for Negate. The top is a series of rotating triangles that seem to be collapsing into a small and distant space. The edges of the portal are white with electric energy and the Dimir spybug symbol floats above it. The left one has an "X" in white in front of a sinking darkness. The third is a diagonal slash through the remnants of a circle. The background is a swirling darkness that converge behind the center of the image.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am
A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Growth and Decay

I saw a sapling growing from the stumps of a decaying tree while walking my huskies and imagined the ghost of the dead tree watching over its successor.
