Melissa A Benson - Alternate Reality Artist

Let's start with my Magic: the Gathering art since that is what I am best known for. I did seven images for the initial Alpha set. If only I knew then what I know now ...

I have made Limited Edition prints of ten designs from various expansions of the game. They are signed & numbered & printed on acid free stock, measuring 8 1/2 x 11 inches overall. The actual image size depends on the proportions of the original. The early pieces had to be pretty small to fit in a table scanner. The image area is 5% smaller than the original art and the print runs vary in quantity from 250 to 750.

Limited Edition Prints are available matted & framed, matted & shrink-wrapped, or as a loose print. Loose prints are: $12.00 each; prints that are matted/mounted & shrink wrapped are: $25.00 and prints that are matted & framed are: $35.00.

Both Nightmare and Shivan Dragon are now sold out.

This is one in a series of butterfly designs in this square format. They look great hung in a small group. It is a simple design using only the dainty Dercas lycorias butterfly also known as the Plain Sulphur butterfly. It has intense yellow wings and dark maroon accented tips. Hang it anywhere you want an intense splash of color.

Butterflies are a wonderful way of bringing the beauty of Nature into your home. This piece is available in a variety of sizes from 8 inches square to 30 inches square ranging in price from $28.50 to $220.05.
