Hello, and welcome to the Mark Poole Playmat Collection!
Mark Poole has been illustrating for Magic: The Gathering since the very beginning. Here are all of the cards he has illustrated for the game.
Mark has teamed up with the OMA Store to offer a limited edition collection of licensed Magic: The Gathering playmats and prints, gorgeously extended to see the full scene!
Incredible, hand-painted art extensions are what make this project truly special!
Magic art typically uses a 4:3 ratio, while playmats use 16:9. Fitting card art onto a playmat often requires harsh crops that lose important elements of the artwork. To avoid this, we have extended each illustration, expanding the full original art to see even more of the scene around it.
In a world where more and more projects rely on AI, these extensions are digitally hand-painted by Vianki, with Mark's guidance and feedback. This collaboration has created a seamless transition from the original card art to the full-width extension.
-
Extended Artwork - The artwork on each mat has been extended by Vianki and Mark beyond what appears in the card frame to perfectly fit the playmat format.
-
Premium Stitched Edge - The premium offering from UltraPro, each mat will have high quality stitching around every edge, ensuring that your playmat will last a very long time.
-
Limited Edition - We will never reprint any of these playmats with a stitched edge, ever again. This is your only opportunity, ever, to get this artwork on a stitched playmat. (Playmats are printed in units of 50, so we’ll print to demand, but no more than the closest unit of 50.)
-
Hand Signed and Numbered- The plan is to have each mat hand signed by Mark, making each of them unique to this project.
-
Minimal Logos - We're working with Wizards of the Coast and their officially licensed printers to minimize the impact of their logos as much as we possibly can. The preview above is an approximation of the final logos.
