He only has a $3,500 goal? And he's very ambiguous about what the images will be.... and he's going to use the money for models, props, food and props?



He's photo website is: http://leegphotography.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Photos and playing cards does not match.

That is all.

"The Artist" has an oversized ego .....

You don't want to give him... "A hand!" GET IT?

When I saw this project last Monday on KS I decided it would be a waste of time to post....

sometimes you just have to slow down on the freeway and gawk at the horrible accident

Um I ah.......Well....I nope, I got nothing.

Not always, but I'm lazy so it's easier with all these terrible deck projects

Hi everyone,

I am the creator of this project. I found this post while looking through my site's referral analytics. I see that you all didn't really think that my Kickstarter project was very good, which is fine you can think what ever you want. But I feel you misunderstood what the project is all about, that could possibly be because of how I worded the project.

My project is more about creating one photo every week for the next year, than the actual deck of cards. There are 52 weeks in a year, and also 52 cards in a deck (minus the jokers). So I came up with the idea to create a custom deck of cards with each image on the face of the card. The whole reason I created the deck was as a reward to give out to the backers.

I appreciate the criticism because now I know that I didn't get my idea across as well as I meant to.

I don't think the idea is an issue, expecting people to shell out $52 for a deck of cards and then wait over a year to get it, is a little insane don't you think? I also think it is a little arrogant thinking that it is a "Reward", like a treat you would give a dog for doing something special. What exactly would the reward before? People who feel like giving you money for no particular reason?

Thanks!

with only 7 backers... I doubt it was only US who were confused

Kickstarter is about trying to get crowd funding for a project you feel passionate about. If I sold the decks for less then I wouldn't be raising any money at all. I call it a reward because that's what kickstarter calls them. I know it's more like a donation to an artist. Yes there are only 7 backers which is not as successful as I was hoping, but I feel that it's because I'm young and don't have a big name for myself in the art community.
Also the reason why it will take a year to deliver is because it will take a year to create the images to be used in the deck...

I think the issue (for lack of a better term) here is that this is more of an art project than a playing card project, so I wouldn't count on deck collectors to be a big part of your backers.
