Trading Card Artwork

What are Sketch Cards?

Sketch cards are 2.5 x 3.5″ drawings. These began as simple sketches that were traded between artists and have grown into their own niche genre; check out the article I wrote here to find out more about sketch cards. For myself, like many other artists, I produce sketch cards for licensed trading card sets. My sketch cards are original illustrations approved by art directors from the properties that I am working on and then inserted into the trading card packs. Sometimes my illustrations are reproduced and printed as trading cards in the products!

Commission a Custom Sketch Card

In addition to working on licensed trading card sets I also create sketch cards just for fun and sale. Contact me if you would like to commission a unique sketch card for yourself!
