Help Build the World of Upper Crust
A new collectible universe is forming.
We’re assembling artists and creative contributors for the first release.
Upper Crust is an artist-driven collectible series built around original work, limited drops, and real-world experiences.
AT ITS CORE, IT’S A TRADING CARD RELEASE. BUT IT’S ALSO SOMETHING BIGGER.
A collaborative project shaped by the artists behind it.
A platform for new and established creators.
A way to bring collectors and artists closer together.
The only theme is pizza🍕.
Everything else is up to interpretation.
We’re building the first release now.
A small group of contributors will help define what Upper Crust becomes.
Selected contributors will have the opportunity to:
🍕 Create original artwork featured in a limited card release
🍕 Contribute to packaging, merch, and other creative elements
🍕 Be part of a physical collectible experience
🍕 Help shape the identity of a new series from the beginning
This is not a one-time project.
We’re building something that continues.
This is for artists who:
🎨 Have a strong, recognizable style
🎨 Create original work in any medium
🎨 Want to collaborate, not just submit
🎨 Care about the experience as much as the final product
You don’t need to be part of the trading card world already.
You do need to bring something unique.
We’re intentionally open in style, but selective in execution.
Original artwork only
No AI-generated final artwork
No unlicensed or borrowed intellectual property
Quality over quantity
We’re not looking for one specific look.
We’re looking for artists who know what they’re doing.
Upper Crust is more than just card art.
We’re looking for contributors across multiple areas:
Design
Packaging / Product Design
Creative Collaborators
Merch / Apparel Design
IF YOU HAVE A POINT OF VIEW, THERE’S LIKELY A PLACE FOR IT HERE.
This is built around the experience.
NOT JUST COLLECTING CARDS, BUT OPENING THEM.
NOT JUST OWNING ARTWORK, BUT DISCOVERING THE ARTIST BEHIND IT.
THINK;
Opening Packs with Friends
Finding New Artists through Collecting
Physical and Digital Interaction
Future Drops, Collaborations, and Events
This is meant to be shared.
