JR wrote:Frank Frazetta was one of my ultimate inspirations growing up and still currently. That is why I'm beyond stoked to announce my upcoming playing card collaboration with the @frazetta_art_museum. We hope to launch this exciting project on the Kickstarter platform in January of 2023 so get ready!

The Frazetta Art Museum in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, is home to the largest collection of Frazetta originals in the world. We are located at 141 Museum Road, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Reopened solely by Frank Frazetta Jr in 2013, the museum houses roughly 37 original oil pieces and countless pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor works; also housed are personal items such as part of his camera collection, sports equipment, easel, pallet, and much more! The museum resides on the original 67 acre estate in the heart of the Pocono mountains. Overlooking the small lake at the base of the distant mountains, your visit will be one to remember and you will look forward to returning time and time again. This estate is where Frank created his most iconic paintings since 1971. His four children were brought up on this large parcel of land in a time that the Poconos were still in their "honeymoon" stage- with a population under 25,000 in the early 1970’s to today totaling well over 250,000 residents. But the estate property has stayed intact since the original purchase in 1971, only to be groomed and landscaped to make it as beautiful as one could imagine.

Frank Frazetta (February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010) was an American artist known for themes of fantasy and science fiction, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers, and other media. He is often referred to as the "Godfather of fantasy art", and one of the most renowned illustrators of the 20th century. He was also the subject of a 2003 documentary Painting with Fire.

Frazetta was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame, the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame, the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, and was awarded a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention.

Yeah, it's a bit too busy. So far the Ace of Spades is the only thing I've really liked about the deck. The art itself isn't drawing me in.
