MTG_Baron

      Hello Friends! My name is Brendan Rollin, better known as MTG_Baron. I’ve made Magic the Gathering comedy skits for over a year and been a long time player. I‘m a 26 years old and my favorite format is casual commander. My work is content creation, WhatNot, Uber, and I’m a Medical Services officer in the Army National Guard. I also DM my homebrew campaign casting some Magic the Gathering content creators as well! Episodes come out the first of every month. 

      My Magic the Gathering journey starts in tenth edition when I went to an invitational and state competition as a thirteen year old. I wanted to be the first young pro. I stoped playing in Scars of Mirrodin due to financial and logistical reasons. Then my college roommate in 2019 begged me to start playing again because they needed a fourth for commander. The nail of the coffin was the return of my favorite block, Ravnica. I primarily play commander, limited, and cube! I love teaching others how to play, meeting people, and listening to your favorite MTG moments! Feel free to come up and talk to me anytime!

Bradley Smith

      Hi there. I’m Bradley. Bradley Smith. Bradley William Smith. Yeah, I know. I’m a 3-name person. Sorry. If you’re not a kid, you probably have no clue who I am! I’m the voice actor for the gaming panda bear of YouTube, Combo Panda. The channel is named after the character and after roughly 5 years, we’ve accrued over 2 million subscribers and 1.5 billion views. “Combo Panda” is a sister channel of “Ryan’s World,” which is one of the most massive childrens brands right now with over 33 million subscribers and 53 billion views. Aside from Combo, I provide voices for the Ryan’s World characters Packrat, Moe the Monster, Shelldon the Baby Dinosaur, and Robo Combo Panda. Sometimes, Combo Panda games against Robo Combo on the “VTubers” channel (over 2.3 million subscribers/1.8 billion views). You can also catch me in live-action as myself over on “The Studio Space” YouTube channel (over 3 million subscribers/1.8 billion views)

      Under the Ryan’s World brand, my silly voices can be heard in “Ryan’s Mystery Playdate” (Nick Jr.), “Ryan’s World Specials” (Hulu), the video games “Race with Ryan” and “Ryan’s Rescue Squad” (Switch, PS4, XBox One, PC), the mobile app games “Tag with Ryan,” “Super Spy Ryan: Rumble Arena,” and “Ryan’s Dart Tag,” and even a good chunk of toys including the Combo Panda Build-A-Bear. We’re starting to produce anime specials now, too, such as “Super Spy Ryan” (Amazon) and “Ryan’s Arctic Adventures” (YouTube). 

      When I’m not working on content to make kiddos laugh, I’m thinking of things to make adults laugh (hopefully). The dream is to be a professional standup comic, so I take any opportunity I can to tell jokes. Even at conventions! So, be sure to catch my “Unconventional Comedy” set, which are a bunch of jokes for those who love going to conventions.

Drew Tucker

      One of the original 25 Magic: The Gathering artists. He started college at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale studying Graphic Design. After making it through the program, he moved in with his parents in Tennessee and attended a Baptist College to explore more of the visual arts. After a year or two he moved back to Carbondale, got married, and moved up to Seattle, where he finally graduated with a BA at Cornish College of the Arts. He spent about five years there, moved back to Carbondale for a few, then moved over to New York City, where he received his Masters degree under Marshall Arisman at the school of visual arts. He finally moved to Olney, where he is currently illustrating and teaching at Olney Central College. He did a lot of logo work and brochure design with the occasional illustration. But it wasn’t until the early 90s that he got his first real Illustration job – from Wizards of the Coast.
      Between the printing of Unlimited and Revised, the computer file of the Drew Tucker art for Plateau became corrupted and the original painting was lost, leaving the production team with no reasonable way to create a high-quality image. Luckily, art for dual-lands had been commissioned for the then-upcoming Ice Age set. So the Cornelius Brudi Plateau painting was then used as a stand-in for the original in the base set, and was actually misattributed to Tucker.

Phil Stone

      Phil Stone was given up by the wolves and raised by his parents. He was born in the 70’s, raised in the 80’s, and became a failed comic book artist in the 90’s. In the 2000’s, Phil gave up the pen and became a “D List” celebrity hairdresser, travelling the world and performing on stage with the latest coifs, and styling hair for long forgotten celebs. It wasn’t until several years ago that Phil got a second chance at illustration. Phil ran like a banshee in the night with this new opportunity to make it happen. He has graced the inner pages of such RPG’s as Kobold Press, Planet X games, Enworld, and Palladium Books to name a few out of the many. It was only a few years ago that Wizards of the Coast took notice and offered Phil a job. He never applied to the company, but was noticed for his Black and White illustrations, and was offered a freelance job. His art can be seen in 8 cards for Forgotten Realms, 11 cards in Baulders Gate, 2 in the Beadles and Grimm Secret Lair Drop, and 2 more yet to come in a secret set. Phil Stone was a self taught artist until as of late, when he decided to pursue his degree in illustration. Don’t let the diploma fool you though, his art is fueled by coffee, cigarettes, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and night terrors.

Chris Seaman

     Chris has been a freelance illustrator in hobby games for over 20 years. He is a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration.

Mark A. Nelson

     Marks artistic journey has allowed him to research everything from the prehistoric to contemporary symbols and images from cultures around the world. It has also focused on our relationships with animals, their stories and fables and how they differ from culture to culture. The salamander during Medieval times was thought, “to be born of fire”, an amphibian phoenix. For many cultures, insects are the signs of rebirth and growth, but also the harbingers of death and pestilence. So, if he would have to classify himself, it would be as an image-maker.
      His personal images are a collection of strokes and marks, made by various tools, to create a believable world linking these symbols and visuals together. The visual story can be simple or complex, humorous to mysterious, full of fantastic creatures or just one object, and in colour or black and white. All of these elements become the basis for my visual images. Sometimes they are a series of drawing and sometimes the statement is complete in one image. He doesn’t expect the viewer to know all of the symbols and their meaning in my work. Part of that is up to their personal interpretations and reactions to his images. We all know, as time moves on words and images change their meaning to each generation. But, he would hope that his love of the natural world, its mystery, its shapes and forms, its textures, and its beauty comes across in his work.

RK Post

      Post has done freelance work for TSR, including Red Steel, Cutthroats of Lankhmar, and Spells & Magic. Post garnered a full-time staff illustration position at TSR in September 1996, painting cover illustrations for games and novels. Post soon began working on two projects: the Planescape setting for the Dungeons & Dragons game, and the new Alternity science fiction role-playing game. Post has worked on games and game lines such as Planescape, Deadlands, Alternity, Star Wars, and Vampire. 
      TSR was purchased by Wizards of the Coast soon after Post was hired. Post had the opportunity to illustrate cards for Magic: the Gathering, and also painted covers for Dungeon magazine.[2] WotC and Post parted for ways in the winter of 2000 and he now doubles as a full-time freelance illustrator still contracting occasional assignments through the subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc., and as a 2D and 3D artist for Gas Powered Games. Most recently, he finished working full-time as a 3D environmental artist for Sony Online Entertainment in May 2008.
      Post was nominated for an ASFA Chesley Award, for Best Gaming-Related Illustration, in 1999 for his work Alternity: Player’s Handbook (cover), and again in 2002 for his work “Lightning Angel”

Jeff Laubenstein

     Jeff Laubenstein has worked for several major Fantasy Game companies, including FASA, White Wolf, and Wizards of the Coast. He has been working in the field since the mid 80s. He was the art director on the Earthdawn project. Most of the Earthdawn books contained at least several of his contributions. In the early Shadowrun game books, his work featured prominently, illustrating nearly all of the NPC portraits.
      Laubenstein was the art director at FASA for almost a decade. His art appears in numerous FASA releases, including MechWarrior: The Battletech Role Playing Game (1986),[3]: 292  and Mercurial (Shadowrun) (1989).
      He has done illustrations for Magic: The Gathering. In 2001 he received a nomination for a Chesley Award, in the category Best Gaming-Related Illustration, for his work on Castles and Covenants (White Wolf Publishing).

Ken Meyer Jr.

    Throughout his career, Ken Meyer Jr. has worked on projects all over the media world such as working on projects such as Everquest, doing some art for Marvel Comics, and even working on a few military designs, such as the tail insignia for the stealth fighter. Somehow in the middle of it all he also found time to illustrate some Magic: The Gathering cards, from the Arabian Nights expansion to The Invasion expansion.

Margaret Organ-Kean

  After graduating from the University of Washington, artist Margaret Organ-Kean decided to do what any other fantasy artist would do in the early 1990s: attend Worldcon. Much like many early Magic: The Gathering artists, her unique, world-blended, mosaic-lain artwork was seen by the right people at Wizards of the Coast and Margaret soon became a staple artist for Magic for many years.
