I'm buying an altered art Sol Ring that was altered and signed by a man named James King. I just like the art; I have no idea who J. King is. Here is a disamiguation page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_King and here is a scan http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y46/ThaGunslinga/solring3.jpg Help would be appreciated.__________________ On an endless quest for Portal and Starter basic lands and sealed product.P3K Basic Lands : 276

You're buying the card off of Ben, did you ask him?

The first thing that comes to mind is an extremely good Magic player who was winning Vintage tournaments with ICBM Oath not that long ago.Since Tha Gunslinga is an extremely good Vintage player as well, I would ask him about it.

Alterations are often done by players--much more often than by the card's original artist him/herself. Sometimes, these artists/players will also sign their alterations, much like more traditional artists sign their works. If an altered card bears a signature, your best bet is that the signature belongs to the person who altered the card.If you intended your question to be more specific, then I cede the floor to 'slinga's answer. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

To his credit, questions have a 50% of not getting answered if they get buried in the PFS.

He's a local player and artist based in Wisconsin, and if you're interested in other artwork on cards or playmats I'm sure he'd be happy to sell you his services. Tha_Gunslinga can put you in touch with him if need be.
