TRADING CARD ART

Alexander Trpcevski (Trip) is a professional comic artist and illustrator specialising in high-impact trading card artwork designed for gameplay clarity, collector appeal, and premium finishes. His work combines cinematic illustration with strong readability at small scale, ensuring each card functions both as a playable asset and a collectible showcase piece.

With a background in graphic design and storytelling, Trip carefully plans each composition so that focal elements remain clear within the card frame. Particular attention is given to isolated areas intended for foil or special finishes, using lighting, contrast, and visual flow to ensure these elements naturally lead the viewer’s eye and enhance the overall impact of the card.
