Meanwhile...

Ah, my final Lorwyn card - and my second favorite piece I did for the set - has just been officially revealed. And yes, I wish this was a physical card too.

The auction for Crib Swap has begun on the MTG Art Market. It'll be concluding at 11pm Eastern / 8pm Pacific on Thursday January 22nd. www.facebook.com/groups/mtgar... This was an unusual and deceptively tricky composition.

And by some crazy trick of chronological time, SCG CON Portland is only a week away! There's going to be over 30 Magic artists in attendance which may be a record for a Portland show. BTW, my other confirmed 2026 events so far are: SCG CON Cincinnati (May 15-17) SCG CON Las Vegas (June 26-28)

Here's 3 of my cards that have been released in Lorwyn Eclipsed. It's good to finally see these in print as they were painted in the latter half of 2024. They're all acrylic paintings on gessobord.

Before shipping the Antiquities paintings to WotC, I made color photocopies in case something happened to them in transit. A friend showed up at my studio later that afternoon, glanced at Rocket Launcher and said “Why’d you paint a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?” I’ve never been able to unsee it.

I'm beginning to worry we are never going to return to Ulgrotha.

Always a joy.

Sunbillow Verge 18” by 14” The auction for the original art ends today at 11pm Eastern / 8pm Pacific. The auction takes place in the MTG Art Market group on Facebook. www.facebook.com/groups/mtgar...

Psst. Hey. Hey you. A new Gothic Charm School article will be published tomorrow!

It's time to show off some Aetherdrift art. Sunbillow Verge Acrylic on Gessobord. 18” by 14” Sunbillow Verge marks an important milestone in my 31 years of painting Magic cards: Finally, I’ve painted a red mana producing land for my horde of goblin cards! Goblin players rejoice!

Ok we're just moving on to the second card, we have a lot to get through. Here is Goblin Surveyor, a pink haired feisty Goblin with the new "Start Your Engines" mechanic 🎨 Art by @peteventers.bsky.social and... @hobbesq.bolasgang.com we guess

It’s about ten days until the Aetherdrift previews start. I know the MtG sets with offbeat themes haven’t been immensely popular in the last year but I’m here to tell you I had a lot of fun with Aetherdift. So look for new art posts later this month.

I just backed this project by @ninovecia.bsky.social Super cool playing card deck. It ends soon, so consider backing the project.

Glorious.

Finally our 3rd preview is a Mono Black Rare Goblin with @peteventers.bsky.social art! This Goblin Lady is absolutely stunning and Aristocrat Decks are going to Salivate over her!

Spoiler season for Modern Horizons 3 is underway and today one of my pieces was revealed. Meet "Warren Soultrader", one of my favorite ever goblins to paint, and a bit of a powerhouse to boot. The original will be auctioned in the MTG Art Market on Facebook, Thurs May 23rd to Tues May 28th.

I am required to reblog posts from @magicgooglyeyes.bsky.social if they feature @peteventers.bsky.social art. REQUIRED.

Hey, I hadn't seen this show up anywhere, but my Treasure Nabber from Commander Masters 2023 is also available as an art card. Apparently we don't get APs of these which is a shame, but oh well. I'm told the yellow signature is a gold stamp on the real card.

Hey, time to let you know I'll be at The Summit. It's going to be a busy show, with 20+ Magic artists in attendance! The show's organizers have a Twitch AMA today at 9pm EST / 6pm PST. They'll be giving away a Mox Main Event ticket, answer questions, and more. https://www.twitch.tv/kingdomstv
