Thrilled to be showing at Magic Con Vegas this May! Come say hi! Come get your cards signed! Come get some swag!

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! #Pokemon

I like all three starters for the first time in multiple generations. Just please stay on four legs. Please.

I love how AI slopmeisters refer to themselves by bullshit titles like “Hybrid Artist” like they’re the next stage of human evolution and not, you know, frauds. Anyway, here’s a real painting.

It’s time for some 🌙 night time stress candy 🌙

Hey y’all it’s my birthday 🎂 Would appreciate an art share today

New painting! "Midsummer Procession", 33"x 21", Oil on Linen.

Teaching again has eaten up a lot of my energy, and so balancing time getting art done hasn't really leveled out yet. In the mean time, Inprnt is having a free shipping sale on orders over 30 USD! That's a really good deal with how expensive shipping has become! www.inprnt.com/gallery/sama...

Doing art badly is good and sacred

I’m excited to be headed to magic con Vegas in a few months! I’ve never been to Las Vegas before somehow, this’ll be really neat!

Frogcrawler -- the one remaining AP I have left in the @gallerynucleus.bsky.social Magic in Miniature show!

Wanted to share a bit about this art for MtG Marvel Superheroes. It was a special job for me. Thanks to @gaogaigirl.bsky.social for the assignment and support on this

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Danny, an illustrator for Magic: The Gathering. I love stories and characters of all kinds, decoration and whimsy, animals (particularly big cats), and also illustrative gardening, which I am making a thing. All work below from Magic's Lorwyn Eclipsed. ✨: www.dannyschwartz.com

Sunderflock, AD Aliana Rood. My last one for Lorwyn Eclipsed and another favorite because it’s so weird and the duck has teeth.

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

Changeling Wayfinder! My fourth and personal favorite for Lorwyn Eclipsed— it just came together so easily and was such a joy to paint throughout! The little face?? His jelly body?? His Parasyte hand??? Muah 🤌 Massive thanks to my AD Deborah Garcia for letting me paint this little dude~

Thirst for identity, AD Deborah Garcia, for Magic’s Lorwyn Eclipsed.

Glen Elendra Guardian, AD Jameela Wahlgren. So glad I got a chance to play with the fae of this world. This one is doing a Legolas.

Luminollusk My first oil painting made for magic the gathering ! The Ad asked for traditional looking illustrations for the set. At first I only wanted to start in oil and finish it digitally, but the paitning went well and I ended up painting everything in oil. AD : Ovidio Cartagena

Spinerock Tyrant, AD Jameela Wahlgren. I painted a dragon for Magic! A real dragon! A big red Clifford of a dragon!!

!!!!

“Blossoming Defense” from Lorwyn. Oil on gessoboard. Big thank you to my AD Sam Padilla for the commission! This is one of my favourite things I’ve ever painted.

"Belonging", AD Zack Stella, for Magic's Lorwyn Eclipsed. My beautiful noodle beast!! Lord of the changelings!!

!!!!

Bloom Tender, AD @jameelawahlgren.bsky.social -- for Magic's Lorwyn Eclipsed. This is my favorite thing I've ever made.

Let's look at some Booster Fun! #MTGLorwyn features the Fable Frame treatment across a wide swath of cards in the set. Art that evokes those found in childhood fable books celebrates the traditional art found throughout the cards of #MTGLorwyn.

Dose of Dawnglow, a new illustration previewed early as part of Magic: The Gatherings next set, Lorwyn Eclipsed story spotlight! This also happens to be my first traditionally painted Magic card! More on that soon 😉 AD: Deborah Garcia

*gets assignments with lots of people and portraits* Oh man, this is great, but I kind of wish I was painting animals right now *gets assignments with lots of animals* Oh man, this is great, but I kind of wish I was painting people right now

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world. I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world. Mega worth the watch:

Autumn’s Waning 🍂

Here's the cover illustration I had the pleasure of painting for 'The Shape of Monsters' by @tessagratton.bsky.social , for Orbit Books! It's Book 2 of The Moon Heresies trilogy and sequel to The Mercy Makers 🌔 Out June 2026!

I like to see the arks flying across the sky at dusk; they look like big clouds stretching from one end of the sky to the other.

My mom, also an artist, drew me pictures to color when coloring books didn’t quite have what I was looking for. One day — I must have been 3, 4? — I vividly remember suddenly understanding that she was making pictures with her hands, and that was all I ever wanted to do after.

Nebulae 12 x 16 in, oil on panel A new painting from an earlier study, Nebulae debuted at the IX Art Show. It's now back and on my website, original and prints. robreyart.com
