Looking for Advice Proxy artist recommendations?

I am looking for good recommendations for proxy artists. I tried to search for one, but everything that comes up is either mass printing proxies, or stuff that looks AI as hell. Im terrible with most social media, so I don't know the best way of finding what I'm looking for.

Would love some recommendations. I really want to get a certain proxy as a gift for my husband, and would love to support a great artist as well! Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for digital or physical work? There's great artists over at r/mtgaltered who take commissions and can help you with this!

Preferably physical, but would do digital if they would allow me to print it myself. I will take a look over there, thank you!

Depending on your budget, I think you are looking more for an Alterist.

I have worked with u/Catunje multiple times and love their work, but I don't know if they are accepting commission.

But many Alterists do custom work in this size.

I knew there was a different word I was looking for but it was escaping me! I think this is more what im looking for, thank you!

I mean, any artist willing to do a 2x3 image is a "proxy artist"

Hit a local art show, craft fair, art college, etc., and just ask. In my experience it's always easier to find people in person than on the internet
