About TRW

The son of Swedish immigrants, Tom began his game career by becoming one of the original 25 illustrators for the seminal game Magic: The Gathering in 1993. 

He then began a 30-year long journey in the production trade for the game’s publisher, Wizards of the Coast. 

Over the years, Tom helped produce dozens of different Trading Card Games , Board Games, RPG Books and Miniatures releases. 

He is a well-known expert with deep experience in numerous game innovations specific to the card industry, including large-scale digital production, holographic premium cards processes and treatments, card pack collations and many other applications that are the norm now for all industry publishers worldwide. 

Along the way, Tom continued to illustrate over 70 different unique cards for Magic: The Gathering. His most well known works include classics such as Royal Assassin from the original Alpha release, and Blood Moon from MTG: The Dark.

An avid snow skier and boater, you can often find Tom in the mountains and waterways of the beautiful Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. where he lives on an island in the Salish Sea with his wife, son and two occasionally-well-behaved dogs.
