Jesters Cap or Cap of the Ice Jester is one of the first pieces I painted that became iconagraphic or widely recognized. It is a very popular piece not only because of the artwork but because of what you can do when playing this card. Know your foes' strengths as well as their weaknesses. |
I was really excited to do another painting of the Jester. I had taken several courses on painting in an academic manner and really wanted to use those techniques I learned to create a more realistic image. Even for a guy whose the 2nd oldest Magic artist, it's never too late to learn something new and improve your craft. I really thought the Taco dog they put on the card was cool! ¡Yo quiero Kormus Bell! |
One of the first dragons I painted was for the original set of Magic, Firebreathing. Since then I've painted many dragons some of which appeared on the covers to Dragon magazine. Fire Covenant was the first dragon I painted for a Magic expansion since Firebreathing.

Durkwood Boars is the first painting I ever painted, ever. It's also the only acrylic piece I've done. Dan Frazier is not only my best friend but he has also been my art teacher. Back in late '93 when Legends was being assigned Dan believed I was ready to do a "real" painting and he thought I might have fun working for this small company called Wizards of the Coast. The original title of Rampaging Durkwood Boars wouldn't fit on the card. |
I really like this piece. I had a lot of fun painting the sheet on the dead guy.

People often ask us if we make up the images on the cards. In the very early days of Magic the artist did have quite a bit of creativity painting pretty much anything that popped into thier mind (within certain tasteful non-offensive guidelines). These days almost every detail of the card is dictated by an art committee. Grim feast falls somewhere inbetween. I had to show the mage eating a dead guy but I didn't want to go over the top and be too gruesome. |
