I'll be attending the Magic GP Los Angeles next weekend. I'll be signing cards with 9 other Magic artists! If you're planning to attend stop by, get some cards signed, and or just say hello.<br />
<br />
I'll have prints, playmats, artist proofs, and original MtG art for sale at the show. I will also be doing sketches and alters.<br />
<br />
Here is a link to some of the Magic cards I've illustrated - <a href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&artist=+[%22Lucas%20Graciano%22]">Magic Art by Lucas Graciano</a>.<br />

Ebay decided that my item was "miscategorized". Without any kind of warning, they pulled the auction. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience. I'm hesitant to re-list the item due to the low turnout. I will take some time and decide what I want to do with the painting. I want to thank the bidders and everyone who helped get the word out about the auction.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that Chris Rahn's Planeswalker auction on Ebay is done killing it, I thought I'd step in and offer up the original oil painting for Sunblade Elf. I have received several emails about the original and thought it only fair that everyone who was interested had a shot. The original is 12x16 Oil on masonite and is on an upcoming card for the new Magic M15 set. You can find the listing here:<br />

Spoilers are starting to surface around the web for Magic the Gathering's new Core set, M15. So far, two of my images have been released for the set.....I believe there is more to come. I will bring both of these with me to 2014 GP Washington DC this weekend, along with other original paintings. If you're planning to attend, please stop by and say hi.<br />

Growing up the Alien and Predator comics were one of the few comic books I actively followed. I read every series and still to this day own about 40 or so of those comics. I even got the cover artist of the very first Predator comic to sign my copy at a Comic Con one year. The Predator comics played a key role in inspiring me to do art for a living. So when Dark Horse approached me to do the next covers for their Predator series, my childhood life flashed before my eyes and I couldn't believe the good fortune I had for the opportunity. I also have to thank EM Gist for recommending me to the AD's at Dark Horse. He knew what a big fan I was of the IP and helped to get my name in front of the right people.<br />
<br />
The first cover is pictured above and the second below.<br />

If you were at IlluXCon in Sept of last year, then you've seen this already. I had the original on display at the show.<br />
<br />
One of my first illustrative drawings when I first started attending art school was the iconic scene of The Battle of Five Armies from the book The Hobbit. It was a decent effort, but an ambitious image to tackle, especially for a new art student. I had always wanted to illustrate the scene again at some point. So, when Ares Games emailed asking me to illustrate their <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/135219/the-battle-of-five-armies">The Battle of Five Armies board game</a> cover, I jumped to the opportunity.<br />
<br />

Detail</div>
<br />
<br />
There were a couple of artists <a href="http://www.matthew-stewart.com/portfolio/single-gallery/4270586">Matt Stewart</a> and <a href="http://quickhidehere.blogspot.com/2009/03/battle-of-five-armies-final.html">Justin Gerard</a> who've illustrated this scene before and they just nailed it! As much as I wanted to do my interpretation, I just didn't know how I was going to go about not looking like a hack next to these amazing works. The director and I agreed that picking another moment in the battle might be best. There were a few key things that happen in the battle that would make for a cool image.<br />
<br />
We finally decided on the scene where Thorin enters the battle and is surrounded. Seeing this as a golden opportunity, I wanted to go as epic as I dared with the image. I came up with a composition that I thought would make a great image. It encompassed a pretty large scene with 20 or so characters in it. The director only needed a certain amount of the image for the box art, but I had a second agenda. I made sure to finish what they needed first so that I would be able to hit their deadline. The final box art also has some digital manipulations. They wanted key elements on the box art that didn't fit exact with what I had in mind for the original paintings. For example you'll notice the eagles in the background are moved closer to the center.<br />

After the assignment was over I would spend another few months, off and on, finishing the painting. Since half of the painting was for my own pleasure I had to work on it in between jobs.<br />

I wouldn't normally do something like this, but the subject was something I've always had a strong passion towards. I would have been a fool not to take the opportunity to do it. Plus, I wanted to get this out before Peter Jackson put the visual out there that will forever be in people's minds!</div>

I'll be attending the <a href="http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/events.aspx?x=mtg/event/grandprix/mexicocity14">Mexico City Magic GP</a> as a guest artist. The event is February 14th and 15th. I'm very excited about this trip, I have never been to Mexico City and I'm looking forward to doing a bit of sightseeing. The event organizer commissioned me to do the artwork for the event playmat(above). He wanted a Magic flavor illustration that somehow fit the Mexican culture.<br />
<br />
I will be bringing a variety of collectibles with me, including: Artist Proofs, Original oil illustrations from MtG, Oil painted Token APs, Prints, and Original sketched APs. If you plan to attend the event, please let me know if there are particular prints/sketches you'd like to see. I will do my best to accommodate.

I must apologize for the lack in new work. I've been waiting for NDA's to lift so I can show some of my new pieces. I have quite a bit to show, so please check back in the coming weeks for more work. For now, here is a cover I did for a Pathfinder novel.<br />

I am very excited to be visiting Japan. My wife and I plan to fly out a week early and see as much of the country as possible before the event.<br />
<br />
For those of you Magic fans in Japan...Special for this event I'm doing a limited run of custom tokens of two of my cards. Both Thoughtseize and Advent of the Wurm original oil sketch APs will be available exclusively at the event. I will have a total of 20 available and each AP will have a unique Wurm or Forsaken Mask token painted in oil on the back. Each will be stored in a special card display holder. Below are two examples of the original oil sketches and the card they will be painted on.<br />

In addition to the oil sketches, I will be doing signings, sketches, and card alters at the event. I will also have a wide variety of prints for sale. Please stop by and say hi if you plan to attend the event. Those of you who register early enough will receive an event play-mat with the artwork for Thoughtseize.<br />
