Marcus is… King Trading Card

Marcus is… King

Artist: Brit Sigh

Size: 2.5 × 3.5 inches

Format: Hand-painted fine art trading card

Marcus is… King is a one-of-a-kind trading card created by Minneapolis-based artist Brit Sigh.

Starting with his original Marcus trading card, Sigh hand-painted directly onto the card, transforming it into a statement about confidence, worth, and self-belief.

The artwork reimagines Marcus as royalty — not because of status, but because of how he sees himself. In Brit Sigh’s universe, Marcus represents imagination, resilience, and possibility. He carries himself with quiet confidence, moving through the world with wonder while refusing to shrink himself.

The painted words “IS KING.” across the back and the added crown, jewelry, and details on the front turn the card into both a portrait and a declaration.

Like much of Sigh’s work, the piece reflects the belief that Black boys deserve to see themselves represented as powerful, celebrated, and worthy of taking up space.

Where traditional trading cards document athletic achievement or celebrity, this piece documents identity, imagination, and becoming.

Because the artwork is hand-painted directly onto the card, every mark, brushstroke, and gesture makes this piece completely unique.
