Thanks for the sentiment, I don't feel like I've been invaluable. I feel like I've been far too distant. I work non-stop, so stopping by the UC forum to actually talk is a treat.

Re: London Diffractor - LIVE ON KS

Hi UC family, While I may remain quiet on most boards and threads, I'm never far away. I wanted to take some time now that I've completed all of the art for the London Diffractors to acknowledge some of your comments and thoughts. Firstly in solidarity with Andrew I wish to show my appreciation and ...

Re: Vegas Diffractor Playing Cards - NEW TIERS AND ADD-ONS

Thank you all for your compliments on the art. We went back and forth over several options for the tuck and finally landed on the one that just felt right. I'm so honored that you all have turned out in force to support this project. It's really makes the decision to do one of my next decks as a Dif...

Re: Trademark Issues

I think he's referring to the Cult Movie Cards that had already been released and how that deck was able to get all the licensing for that deck, especially considering how iconic the images/movies are; GW did a review on them: it's a pretty cool deck and I hope to also pick one up sooner or later :...

Re: Handpainted watercolor deck

I'm a fan, it's hard to imagine watercolors being something that conveyed into card design, but this is already looking well executed.

Keep it up!

Re: Trademark Issues

I've had some deck ideas floating around my brain for a little while and recently wondered if Trademarks would be an issue with printing. Recently the Kubik deck was denied printing by USPCC because they wanted a release from Rubiks Cube. They did not get one, so now the deck is in limbo. I've real...

Re: Deck of playing cards I've been working on (updated pics

TL;DR - I'm designing a deck of cards. What do you think? I think the courts could benefit from some contrast or negative space between the color blocks. The Red courts will have a color blindness issue where the blue blends right into the red and becomes a giant block of grey. Interesting concepts...

Re: Diffractor Playing Cards (Vegas V2)

The problem with a Vegas theme is the subject matter itself. So much of Vegas is (for lack of a better term) cheesy. It's intentionally over-the-top excess doesn't lend itself to classy or elegant design. Some casino's have put out iconic logos/design specific to them, but we've seen the faux casin...

An abstract design without any tie to Vegas or other place I think would have more mass appeal. Would get me to back anyway.

Re: Fox Targets

Are these already printed? Minor complaint, I was going to suggest how the 10 can easily be made symmetric by just rotating one of the two center pips by 180 degrees. As is, it's a one way design on an even numbered card which is kind of silly. Anyway, interesting yet simple design, I like most of ...

$9.95 a deck. You can get them at Penguin Magic or MJM Magic. A ho-hum deck. After seeing the tuck box, you would be disappointed in the deck back if you did not already know what it was. It would be great to see close-ups of the entire deck but they only offer limited cards. The index pip is too s...
