Josh called me up and asked if I wanted to come over to Cliff's house and play Magic with them. It was nice to do something without being the one initiating the call- that might mean I have friends. We played a little and traded a little. As I was looking through one of Cliff's binders I saw on the backs he had several peices of art drawn by actual Magic Card artists. This was a favorite of mine, possibly because it was colored but also because it was by Mark Tedin who is one of my favortes. With Brent as my best friend for most of my life I've come to appreciate that I know nothing about art. Tedin is one of the few artists that I can recognize on sight so I think that's one of the primary reasons I like his work. Also, everything he does looks like brains and he did my buddy Lord of the Pit. You can't see it in the picture here but if you are holding the card you can see little bodies in his stomach- probably the souls of those he's eaten. Scary!

This particular picture is from the card Leviathan. Here is a closeup from the original art.
