I had to include the card's mechanics of earth, sky, and fire. For fire, I included the early smelters (bloomeries). Not technically accurate, so I had to make choices (as one does!).

Strange to see this, after I looked at so many reference photos to make the art for the Sorcery card...

The first of many awards to come, I expect. Bravo to Kelley, Brian, and Seth for their long, hard work bringing the deep history of Magic the Gathering to light for everyone! I'm proud to be one of those interviewed.

Over on Patreon, I've been experimenting with offering Artist Proof card arts to my supporters, under blind-auction protocol. This month, it is an AP of Mirror Realm (Sorcery Contested Realm). The post is available for free and paid supporters alike. www.patreon.com/posts/135523...

I'm keen to see the upcoming Magic documentary "Igniting the Spark." It'll premiere at GenCon; streaming platforms on Aug5. I did a (public) Patreon post in anticipation of it: www.patreon.com/posts/135331.... (I'm even in the official trailer!)

I keep forgetting I have this account. I really intended to come over and read/post more often... (been a tad busy).

YouTube video by SorceryTCG Erik’s Curiosa Partners with Star City Games to Bring Sorcery: Contested Realm to SCGCON!

Most of my current work is for Sorcery Contested Realm. Most of the events I attend lately are with Star City Games.

New announcement: SCG and Sorcery will be partnering at the rest of this year's SCG events! I expect to be at all three shows. Come say hi! www.youtube.com/watch?v=p880...

Only solution to current events is to work on my work, make more art. Doing that. Ghahhh.

Thank you! I hope to keep making more for awhile yet. 🤞

Thank you! Those were fun. I did new work in SJG's reboot of The Fantasy Trip a few years ago too. Including the bellbottoms. :)

Thank you! (*blush!*) But omg puleeeze... "legend" is a term better left for when I start pushing up daisies. Until then, I'm just a working artist. And hope to do something you might love as much in a day yet to come, eh?

Thank you! This was a long time coming...

Figured it was time to join up. I quit most social media long ago (lack of time, unwilling to give it bandwidth). Have enough friends here now, I might as well. Someone else camped my name, but I'm the working artist/writer/editor of games and books, Academy of Gaming Arts Hall of Fame 1995 etc.
