I illustrated a whole bunch of sagas for #MTGxTheHobbit! Here's the first; Burn, Burn Tree and Fern. AD Cassie Murphy. The brief called for a watercolour style similar to that of Tolkien's illustrations.

My MTG Artist Proof shop opens soon! July 6th, at 7pm US Eastern time: shop.rovinacai.com Mailing list subscribers get to preview the offerings now, and will have 1 hour of early access to buy stuff. Sign up here: mailchi.mp/c9ff10c8f876...

Since Mystical Archives cards are meant to look like they came out of a spellbook, I made a book inspired case for one of my Force of Will APs ✨📘✨ This will be available in my shop next week (more details soon)!

Bookbinding continues. One thing lead to another and I bought a Cricut so I could cut out shapes and do foiling on the cover. I am out of control 😭

So I'm making some weird experimental stuff again. It's Universes Beyond MTG x bookbinding 🙃

We're thrilled to share these interior illustrations by @rovinacai.bsky.social for A Song of Sugar Sparrows by @seananmcguire.bsky.social! 😍

It seems so obvious now, but why don't I ever do shapes within shapes?!?!??? Accidentally stumbled into this while making a silly little sticker to include with my shop orders omg. I literally think this is the best, most elegant thing I have made in recent memory. 🫠

Sketch vs final. ✨

Oh. Oh no. It's like I'm in a Black Mirror episode :( youtu.be/Vk95ZO-WAvY?...

Got waitlisted for MagicCon Amsterdam 🫠 There's still a chance I suppose, but it was my only MagicCon option this year, and I really wanted to use it as an excuse to do some travelling this summer!

Force of Will 🌊 For MTG Secrets of Strixhaven Mystical Archive. Thanks to ADs @jameelawahlgren.bsky.social and Tom Jenkot for entrusting me with such a significant card! #mtg #mtgsos #mtgstrixhaven

Oh no I accidentally started watching a documentary so riveting that I am now finishing an illustration I was supposed to be procrastinating on. 🫠

A look at how I made Force of Will for MTG Strixhaven Mystical Archives ✨

And now for some magic art of a different kind... a Darker Shade of Magic, you might say (I am very sorry 😅).

Behold the cover of Be Sure Volume II by Seanan McGuire, the second collection in her multi-Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series! Coming October 13, 2026. Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.

Wtf. The middle button on my intuos pro pen just randomly snapped off? I bought it less than a year ago, and I don't even use the buttons?! Apparently this is a whole thing that keeps happening. Yay enshitification! support.wacom.com/hc/en-us/com...

Found these AMAZING paintings ...at an estate auction of all places! The artist is Lars Knudsen. It seems like he worked mainly during the 80s/90s, and these are originals for a series of bird posters he produced in collaboration with some zoos around Australia.

The impostor syndrome only gets worse the longer you've been working, but you lean to hide/ignore it better ✨😃✨

Some illustrations from the 2014 Folio Society edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Will you be watching the new movie? I keep hearing it's bad, but I still kinda want to see it? 😅

Castle Ravenloft 🏰 For MtG Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Strahd's Descent. AD Anthony Garzzona

These three artist proofs will be in the Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III show at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social, curated by @donnycaltrider.bsky.social. The show opens January 31st!

#ArtOfTheDay: 'The Subtle Knife' by @rovinacai.bsky.social geekynerfherder.blogspot.com/2026/01/arto...

So I taped a black mist filter to a cheap plastic lens, and the results are so incredibly, beautifully shitty. I love it.

I set up Home Assistant to turn on some lights, but it's quickly escalated to… this. @alexstoneart.bsky.social made a Pokemon inspired pixel art floorplan of the entire apartment. I'm currently making it interactive (chores & active devices are shown on the map). Thinking of animating it too. Omg 😅

Christmas greetings from Australia! ✨ @alexstoneart.bsky.social wanted to try a potted tree this year... I am dubious about its survival 😬

Oooh this looks fun!

I just put eggnog in place of milk in my tea, and feel as if I have truly leveled up in life. ☕️

Conducting some R&D ✨ Thinking of offering medieval illuminated manuscript inspired signatures at MtG events next year 🤔

Some brilliant points here about illustration as a distinct art form, and its role in human storytelling. Love this!! www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

If you see this, post your bird art! 🐦‍⬛ I have so much bird art to post.

If you see this, post your bird art!

Noooo Derwent Artist pencils and Tombow dual tip markers aren't lightfast?! Guess I'm throwing out most of my art materials 🫠

What MTG tokens should I make? 👀

I have NOT seen Frankenstein yet, but I wanted to join everyone in posting about it, so here's a very old drawing.

A (maybe?) new to me artist; Ernest Biéler. The shapes and patterns are so pleasing.

I feel so much better abt my sketchbook now because it's literally exactly like this lol

The new Katamari game is everything I hoped it would be.

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

Let me post some art since I haven't done that in a while. 🫠 It's spooky season so how about an illustration of some cranky old lady ghosts? Read the short story here; reactormag.com/also-the-cat...

Me living vicariously through Alex while he is at Illuxcon:

Oceans 8 is the best Oceans movie. And of course I'm watching it tonight since it's topical. ✨💎✨

A seagull stole a sandwich out of my hands once. So my money is absolutely on the seagull here.
