Alchemist’s Refuge Magic Tokens

A cartoon skeleton playing a flute in a forest with poison warnings, indicating that a player with 10 or more poison counters loses the game.

Project goals: Create a series of tokens for the game Magic: The Gathering for use as promotional hand-outs at the game store Alchemist’s Refuge. The art chosen is based on silver age cartoon artwork, with text playing off the name of the token to create a whimsical secondary meaning. The final deliverable size of 2.5 by 3.5 inches meant the illustrations and text needed to be legible at a small size
