Here is a preview of a deck that we have been working on with Srdjan Vidakovic. It is a deck based on an old casino much like the Latin Quarter except this deck has
custom courts. Check it out.

This looks fantastic and that monogram is one of the best I have seen. Classy and very cool. I look forward to seeing more!

Re: Southern Club by McClure&Stark and Srdjan Vidakovic
The Monogram is indeed pretty nice. The back could be better though. Front of the tuck gives me an immediate Planets vibe (I wonder why ). I understand if you wanna keep it clean and simple but I would love if someone leans on that street lamp and smokes a cigarette. Just some thought.
I like the overall vibe and theme. Since it says Syndicate Series any plans on how many decks in this series?

I like it a lot, as long as that tucks embossed I would be in for a few.

Re: Southern Club by McClure&Stark and Srdjan Vidakovic
A little backstory on this. Before Las Vegas the gambling Mecca of the United States was Hot Springs Arkansas. Although gambling was illegal at the time, the industry was protected by local law enforcement.
Outlaws such as Al Capone, John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde were all welcome to roam the streets without fear of being arrested as long as they did not comment any crimes while in the town. For the past 100 years the town of Hot Springs has embraced their reputation as an outlaw hide out. In fact you can still go in the same escape tunnels that Al Capone and Ownie Madden used.
In the 1920’s thru 40’s these places didn’t have custom playing cards. The southern club used something similar to bees. ( only 2 decks are known to exist today). We took old images and advertisements to try and determine what their decks may have looked like if they were designed today.
We plan on doing a series that consists only of a portion of the casinos that were in Hot Springs from 1910- 1950.
Cheers

Re: Southern Club by McClure&Stark and Srdjan Vidakovic
I’d love to see some diamond or heart-suited cards, as I find the colors on those currently shown to be rather drab.
