I wished to post an update to the community here about some further developments to my Black Widow deck . I am striving to further improve the overall aspect of the deck and its art and will continue to do so. If I can succeed with this project then the best and final works will become the Black Wid...

MagikFingerz ~ I looked at your website: http://www.playingcards.wikidot.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it is very obvious that you are very passionate about playing cards yourself. I think that it is great that you have made that site and its resource for playing c...

OH... YES. Allow me to address the issue of the Hour Glass . I thought a lot about that and also worked on adding it - but it is in fact only seen on the bottom of the Widow. It can not actually be seen from above. I would have needed to do a bottom view. I also did try and show a bit of this on the...

@MagicFingerz - I do understand you. And thank you for your observations. @ Everyone - I simply wished that you could really see the whole deck before jumping to a judgement. The pictures here show only a bit of what the deck holds. As far as the face cards - they are actually more redesigned then m...

Really? You like the Black Spider 'better' ? Basically, the only thing about the Black Spider is that it is Black. Magikfingerz... I would like to say that there are great reasons to why my 'customization' of the face cards are what they are... and it is not laziness. It is that I am keeping the tra...

I truly do appreciate this forum and I invite all of you to take another look at what I have done with this deck... and my KIckstarter Project that id going on now. I worked hard and long on making this deck something a little different, moody and yet elegant... still, with an homage to classic and ...

Great input, Ziad ...and I definately appreciate the concerted effort. Though, it does also remind me of some of the reasons that I actually dIdn't take those measures... So, many of the 'Custom' cards that I see actually DO 'push the limits' and 'step outside the box' so to speak with their designs...

To: DukeBoy, I completely understand and respect that. It really makes perfect sense, especially in the sense of a "CUSTOM" art deck. And then, therefore, the Deck should be the 'complete' canvas. It's just that I took a different approach. And you're input to this experience is greatly en...

to: zsalman What you have wrote means very much to me. I totally appreciate the effort which you put into the sharing of your thoughts. I have looked much at your art and I am blown away by the elaborate vision that it all has. I have intended to back your deck, but with all that has been going on l...

To walrus: I did feel a personal understanding in of what you conveyed. Experiences such as that are what has led me to a better understanding - and appreciation - of art and life. Yes, the art of this deck is, in fact, something I was 'going for'. It has come by way of a long journey for me. I am s...

Wow. But I had no idea just how tough many of you are to your appreciation of artistic expression. Not that I do not welcome critism, I do greatly regard any and all of your thoughts. It's just that the overall tone seems definately to balance toward the negetive side of consideration. I gather that...

Well, Modi... I do thank you for your "want" of liking them. Maybe they're not for you. If you ever put your finger on it, I would certainly welcome your thoughts. I am Jean LaBelle and I created the cards. Personally, I have put many years into my thoughts of these. I wanted the Back to b...
