[Hiring] Trading Card Game opportunity Revolt N Reign — A Call to Artists Who Still Believe Something Is Worth Fighting For.. I will pay $25 per finished piece with (Kickstarter Bonus Structure) [Discussion]
This is an invitation to Artists and Illustrators.
Somewhere between the moment the Declaration of Independence was signed and the world you woke up in this morning, something was lost. Not all at once. Slowly. Quietly. A right here. A liberty there. A freedom traded for convenience, or fear, or simply because nobody was paying attention.
Revolt N Reign was built because someone was paying attention.
This is a two-player competitive trading card game — 355 cards — drawn entirely from the founding documents of the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence. The Constitution. The Bill of Rights. The Federalist Papers. Every card in this game represents something real. A right that was argued. A liberty that was defined. A principle that men pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to put on parchment — for you. Not for a king. Not for a government. For you.
Every card needs a face. A real one.
Right now those faces are AI-generated placeholders — and honestly? They need to go.
Because AI has no soul. Because these cards deserve better than what a machine can imagine. A machine does not know what it felt like to stand in a field in 1776 and decide that dying free was worth more than living on your knees. A machine does not feel the weight of a right being quietly erased. A machine cannot look at a card called Declaration and feel something catch in its chest.
You can.
These placeholders exist only to say: something belongs here. What belongs here is your vision — your hand, your instinct, your rage, your reverence — of what that right looks like. What that liberty feels like. What that moment in history means to someone who still believes these documents were written about real people facing real injustice.
I am not looking for artists who will reproduce what a machine imagined. I am looking for artists who will look at a card that says Liberty Points and feel something. Who will look at a card called Declaration and know exactly what image belongs there — and why. Who will look at a card about the right to petition and understand that the fight on that card is not just history. It is happening right now. It happened to you. It happened to someone you love.
Replace the placeholder. Tell the story. Make someone feel it.
I am also not here to debate the past. America was built on land that was already home to people who had their own laws, their own liberty, their own sense of justice. That truth does not disappear by looking away from it. It also does not change what the founding documents represent — a framework for human dignity and self-governance that has never been fully honored and has never stopped being worth fighting for. If you can hold both of those truths at once — the complicated history and the enduring ideal — you are exactly the kind of artist this project needs.
The injustice that the Founders documented was real. The injustice that followed — against indigenous people, against the enslaved, against anyone the government decided did not count — was real. And the injustice being done right now, quietly, in the language of regulation and administration and statutory code, against living men and women who never surrendered their rights — that is real too. Revolt N Reign does not look away from any of it. It puts it on the table. Literally. And it asks: do you know how to fight back?
I am launching in 2026 — the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The timing is not coincidence. It is a statement.
I need artists who see this project and think: I want my work on this. Not because of what it pays today. But because twenty years from now, when someone picks up a Revolt N Reign card and learns something about their rights that their school never taught them, your vision of what that right looks like will be the first thing they see.
That card will carry your name.
If you are an artist who believes that art can teach, that history is not settled, that the documents this country was founded on were written about real people with real rights that belong to you right now — I want to hear from you.
This is not just a card game. It is a record of what we were promised.
And it needs to look like it was illustrated by people who refuse to give up those rights.
