Re: Antithesis Deck - Kickstarter

Hey guys! Yes, you're all correct. I agree, we could have made it past the 15k goal, from observing the statistics of similar campaigns, and also based on the direct messages I've received this week.

Re: Antithesis Deck - Kickstarter

Hi DazzleGuts, Thanks for the tip about Andreas Vesalius. I'm enjoying his work very much! I'm also very into Ernst Haeckel . I don't know whether it's been attempted, but I think his classic Art Forms in Nature is begging to be translated into the playing card format. I haven't noticed something li...

Re: Michael Ryan Norton // Jet City Limited // Seattle

Thanks Mike! Look Mom, I'm a "verified designer!" I'm probably way too excited about that. My first Kickstarter campaign for custom playing cards starts in just a few minutes, and I have to say, I feel really good about it. A large part of that confidence comes from having watched and read...

Re: Antithesis Deck - Kickstarter

Thought I'd drop a note here as a head's up... As some of you noticed, we've been delayed a day. Antithesis will launch on Kickstarter tomorrow morning, Wednesday February 19th, at 9:00 AM PST (GMT -8). I'm sure you all know that Kickstarter HQ has been working overtime over the last week responding...

Adam and I are excited to dialogue with you and flattered you've already taken an interest. I can address some of the concerns a...
