I don't expect to be Bluesky-active going forward. Anyone looking for what altered cards I have available, this is my eBay profile while I'm in the USA: www.ebay.com/usr/nota.ben... And next year when I'm back on cardmarket, find here me here: www.cardmarket.com/en/Magic/Use... Bye for now!

Retrospective as I'll be traveling soon and won't be taking paints with me. I've been embellishing cards for 3 years, done probably 400-500 cards / year in that time. What cards altered the most? City of Brass is up there- I think at least 21x 7ED, 9x Chronicles, and 3x 5th Ed. Fun to look back on!

Black Vise (4ED) The shading up at the top was a bit tricky...

Nevinyrral's Disk

These had been sitting in my to-do pile for a very long time... Psychatog! #premodern #MTGaltered

Commission for somebody who loves a City of Brass.... almost as much as he hates resleeving between decks #alteredMTG

Twiddle floating border embellishment #mtgAltered #MTGOldSchool

Brushland, Underground River (7ED art is great, once you do something about those pesky white borders) #mtgAltered #premodern

Sunday Big Smoke #Premodern tournament - took a GB Gamekeeper brew to the main event. 2-2 drop, then played the side event with Pit Rack and took it down, won a playmat! Graphic design by tattoo artist "Magic Moreno." (Gamekeeper: has potential, strong grind but consistency and speed are lacking.)

Another recently completed project - for a discerning Old School '94 enjoyer - #alteredMTG

When it comes to #MTGLegacy, I've been anti-community panel for a long time. I trusted @wizardsofthrcoast.bsky.social to make good decisions for the format I love. Today changed that. I wouldn't even want to be apart of it, I just want individuals who actually give a shit about Legacy.

Completed this commission of #premodern staples yesterday! #MTGaltered

6 years on and this is still THE BEST analytical piece of Legacy content I've come across 🙏 Huge fan of this sort of replay / breakdown content Anyone have something similar? youtu.be/LqsLD9lqPfQ?... #MTG #MTGOCreator #MTGLegacy

Jackal Pups, by Kev Walker (extended art embellishment with #acrylics) #premodern #sligh

Mogg Fanatic - original art by Brom borderless art embellishment by me. I have an aesthetic monstrosity of a #sligh deck in the works...

What is up with Dragon Shields lately? So much I like about these sleeves, the clarity durability etc but the last several packs I've gotten all have rough bottom edges that catch against each other and so the shuffling SUCKS. I hate it. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUCH as I push my expensive cardboard together!

Clean 7-0 sweep in today’s #premodern win-a-box event playing FEB Tradewinds. The deck:

The KTK fetch lands have, in my opinion, the very best art - but they're cheap because no fancy versions available. Until now. Windswept Heath - by Yeong-Hao Han Flooded Strand - by Andreas Rocha Art extended using #acrylics, by me Very proud of how these turned out! #alteredMTG

Basking Rootwallas. Lovely art piece by @artofheatherhudson.bsky.social Simple "floating" border embellishment by me! #MTG #premodern #madness #acrylics

"I know you're here to cast your Incinerates and Ball Lightnings, but what if instead you just... Chill?" Original art by Greg Simanson, embellishment by me #premodern

Hi everyone...if there are any Magic fans here, because of some empty wallets, I am offering these 16 x 20 repaitings at a reduced price of 400 plus postage...more in first comment.

In #mtgfinance news today: Powder Keg prices have spiked, and the UK cardmarket supply is nearly bought out - even the gold bordered edition... #premodern

extended art for Mystic Enforcer. Project inspired by @lannynyny.bsky.social ;) After staring at this art by Gary Ruddell for an abnormally long time ... I hope someone can tell me ... is there a lore reason for why this Human Nomad Mystic has cat ears? Inquiring minds would love to know.

Crusade - original art by Mark Poole (commissioned, not for sale) #premodernMTG #alteredMTG #acrylics

Blue Elemental Blasts - original art by Richard Thomas #mtgpremodern #mtgaltered #acrylics

Verdant Force, by DiTerlizzi gold borders, begone! #premodern #alteredmtg #acrylics

Strong prior evidence for 1000% increased chance an #edh player will want to buy this piece if I list it as a "topless Command Tower" (I don't make the rules, I just play the game) #mtgaltered #acrylics

My favorite basic lands didn't have extended art - so I sat down for an afternoon and embellished up some "borderless" versions. Mountain by Nils Hamm Island by @donatoarts.bsky.social Classics! #mtgaltered

Birds of Paradise- Mark Poole

Best designed hoser card of all time? Red Elemental Blast, by Richard Thomas #MTG

Played Sneak-n-Show (with Burning Wish!) to 3-0 at the legacy local last night. Wins against Omnitell, Red Prison, and Grixis Control. Not like anyone needs the confirmation now, but Stock Up is a helluva card! #mtglegacy

Thank you so much @notabene-mtg.bsky.social !! They are amazing! 10/10!

It would be just too dumb to white border this manabase and make them all match. Aesthetics, at what price? But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted.... #MTGlegacy #cradlecontrol
