Artist: DiTerlizzi

Continuing artist month, today I look at the art of DiTerlizzi.

DiTerlizzi started illustrating Magic cards in 1997 (for Visions) and last appeared in 2022 (for Dominaria United Commander). His art has shown up in reprints since.

As always, Scryfall is our source for searching cards. The following commands in Scryfall
artist:"DiTerlizzi" not:digital not:artseries 
artist:"DiTerlizzi" not:digital not:artseries unique:prints

show that he has illustrated 91 cards that have appeared 181 times (some show up in multiple sets or special releases). Here are some of my favorites:









DiTerlizzi's art is fun and whimsical. (It's not surprising that his influences include Normal Rockwell, Dr. Seuss, and Arthur Rackham.) He can portray 'scary' creatures in soft ways. His work reminds us that this is just a game; don't take it too seriously.
