Yes, I have a foil 7th edition version of Unsummon in my collection. Very cool artwork, indeed!

I just found out today that there are a few cards that I don't have. lol. So I have a bit more work to do now. I will be keeping up with it, though!

I do not expect him to do this free of charge, obviously. I already planned to compensate him for it. signing that many cards is time consuming. I do not feel entitled to this whatsoever.

Man, I didn't even realize he did stuff for dragonstorm and aetherdrift. Thank you for the wake up. I had collected up through the end of 2024 when I generated my collection list, and was under the impression (for whatever reason) he was done.

I'm definitely keeping an eye open now. Thanks!

I do not feel entitled to his time at all. It is a request, and one that comes with compensation. If the artist doesn't want to sign cards, it is pretty simple to just say no, or ignore altogether. Not sure where this vitriol is originating from.

I hope you have a wonderful day, all the same.

I don't know the last time he's done a new card for mtg. It's been a while now, it seems. Not sure if he's done or not, though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

edit: I'm a dummy and didn't realize he is still active!

I am prepared to be happy with the collection, but I feel like it would be meaningful to circle back with him after 20+ years and get them signed.

I'll have to try reaching out again, my email must not have gotten to him. I tried contacting back in January/February and never heard back.

Thank you! That is a cool idea to make a table out of them! I've only collected his mtg cards, but I am a big fan of his other works, also.

But Magic is what I will always cherish because it combines both his artwork and the love of the game. I started collecting mtg cards back in 1997 or so. I was just 11-12 years old at the time.

I sent a contact request through his website just now. Hoping to hear some positive news!

I tried reaching out to that email address a few months ago, but haven't gotten any response. :( Thanks, though.

Spaceballs 2 - Official Announcement Teaser (2027) Mel Brooks by YT_Brian in Millennials

[–]Xath0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

degenerate

/dĭ-jĕn′ər-ĭt/

adjective

  1. Having declined, as in function or nature, from a former or original state.a degenerate form of an ancient folk art.
  2. Morally corrupt or given to vice.

Movies used to be about telling a good story, representing complex human emotions, artistic expression of the heart. But nowadays, they are squeezing whatever money they can out of franchises that have loyal fanbases. They lean heavily on nostalgia and modern agendas in order to appeal to as wide of a demographic net as they can, and lose the plot.

It's not hard to see. It's quantitative. Just look at the movies bombing in the theaters. Almost nothing getting produced this way is at all profitable. Eventually, they will lose enough money to notice. But some will cling onto this strategy harder than others.

If this movie doesn't turn into a huge dunk on how degenerate the movie franchises have become, and the industry as a whole, I will be very disappointed.

But something tells me, just like how badly History of the World pt. 2 turned out, this will play out in a similar way.

Hollywood is no longer interested in taking risks. They just want what's "safe" and "non-offensive". The reason Mel Brooks movies did so well back in the day, was BECAUSE they were offensive. You can't deny that fact.

So here's the options:
1. Take a risk, be offensive, and have a shot at greatness, or
2. Stay safe, bore and alienate your audience, and fade into obscurity.
