Giovanni. Collector. Graphic Designer.

When I returned to card collecting after several years, I was struck by how much TCG artwork had evolved. Full Art cards had reached an extraordinary level of complexity: rich colors, depth, immersive environments, and tiny details capable of telling an entire story.

Yet all of that was still confined to a few centimeters. A binder or toploader could protect the card, but neither could give space to the world the artwork suggested beyond its borders.

So I started bringing that continuity to life, beginning with my own cards.

That's how ShadArtCustom began.

My background in graphic design and photography taught me to look beyond the main subject of an image: perspective, lighting, composition, and visual continuity.

I didn't want to simply frame an illustration or add a decorative background. I wanted the scene to flow naturally around the card, as though its borders had never existed.

ShadArtCustom was founded in 2023, but the experience behind it goes back much further, shaped by graphic design, photography, and a passion for collecting.

Every display starts with a specific card. I consider its style, colors, atmosphere, and where it will be displayed to create or adapt a composition that complements its artwork.

Then the design takes physical form. The choice of format, printing, finish, and assembly turns the composition into a tangible display made to showcase the collection.

I personally handle every commission, from our first WhatsApp conversation through to delivery. You'll always be speaking directly with me. Every display undergoes a hands-on quality check before shipping.

A card doesn't have to be rare or expensive to deserve a place on display.

Sometimes it's a Full Art you've been chasing for years. Other times it's your favorite character, a gift, or a special memory.

What matters is what that card means to you.

The card stays the same. It's the world around it that opens up.
