>>24427413"Quinton tried to force his style to meet what Magic art directors wanted. It didn’t work. One look at his Timespiral and Lorwyn cards and it’s hard to recognize them as done by the same artist. His Facebook explanation of the issue was standard head on blunt
'Kay, gonna break a few hearts here. Can't help it....gotta be done. I haven't worked on Magic for a long time. I don't do what they want and they make me do stuff I don't wanna. They have my contact info, and I am easy to find. It ain't gonna happen.
Further:
It was more fun then--they gave us a title and said work with it. For myself, I know what people want to see. In the beginning we all had unique styles. That was the fun part. My style went out of fashion. Pretty much all there is to it. I could use the paycheck--I certainly wouldn't turn them down if they asked, but PLEASE let me do what people want to see. "
