  • The Artistic Vision and Deep Philosophical Lore of Canon: TCG | Ft. Tyler Murphy

    Calling all artists! If you like the vibe we're going for, you might be a good fit. We're a small, independent project with a modest budget per piece. In many parts of the world that budget is a fair rate for professional work, and if that's you, we can hire you now. If you're in the U.S., Canada, Europe, or anywhere with similar rates, we can't afford you yet. But if you'd like to contribute a piece to Canon: TCG, you'll be credited on the card, and you'll be first in line for paid commissions as we grow. Send your portfolio to [email protected]
