Sketchcards are one-of-a-kind original pieces of art. They are drawn or painted directly on the trading card surface and then inserted into random packs. If you get lucky you might pull a miniature masterpiece.
Sketchcards allow astonishing artistic freedom to manipulate the modern myths of Marvel Comics. We find funky eye-frying versions of our favorite characters that would have never existed without these unique interpretations.
Sketchcards are a marriage made in Heaven for those of us who happen to get massive pleasure from Superheroes and Art. As an unrepentant fanboy it doesn't get any better than this.
Sketchcards are here to stay, and the Saloon is your source for breaking news and a smorgasboard of visual intoxication. Thanks for stopping by, come back and see us again real soon.
The Sketchcard Saloon is designed and written by Rian Fike.
