Hey, I just heard about this deck and don't have much information on it apart from these pictures, but it looks cool!

I am a big fan of the 'Blue Blood' deck, this is an instant buy for me.

I think they look great! It looks like they even switched mediums from Colored Pencils (Blue Blood Deck) to Watercolors (Bohemia Deck). It's hard to tell exactly, but if they did then it's even more impressive.

thanks, Randy

I love Uusi's style of art, so this is a definite buy for me. Sadly, I don't have the Blue Blood deck!

This is sweet. Blue Bloods is amongst my favorite of the KS decks. I will be looking forward
to the arrival of this one.

Anyone know where to get the Blue Blood deck besides ebay?

Cool, thanks bmpoker. I'll probably be ordered those soon!

I love the Blue Blood deck, I think its one of the most under-rated KS deck out there. They also conducted their KS campaign the right way, I got my decks really quickly with no problems. I think that box is awesome. Someone should contact Uusi and invite them to these boards.

The jokers look awesome, kudos!

They are sold out at Uusi site

Hey Everybody,

Just signed up - good to be here and so happy to see a positive response to our new deck Bohemia! To answer the question about the medium we (make that Linnea, she executed all the painting) used in making the artwork - it was painted in gouache, which is similar to water color but has more pigment, making it a bit more opaque and intense. All the fontwork/type in the deck and tuckbox has been hand lettered by myself in a style dated to mid 17th century central Europe ( an area also referred to as "Bohemia").

I know a few fashion bloggers who would probably dig this deck. Since Boho is all the RAGE now-a-days in the fashion bloggosphere.

^-^

That would be awesome to get posted on one of those blogs, Linnea would love that!

Welcome to the site!

Thanks Russell! Good to be here, and BTW... that was one heck of a KS project you had with Quicksilver! Mucho congrats!!!
Can't wait to get our decks...

Yeah my good friend CHEYSE is a sucker for Boho EVERYTHING. I'm going to send her an email to see if she might be interested in having this item.

Although she doesn't care much for cards like we do but who knows. Maybe the Boho theme will make her want some. And if she gets them I'm pretty sure a handful of her fan base are going to follow suite.

Thanks Lara! Really cool of you to send it on to your friend

She might be more intrigued seeing the queens in the deck once they are exposed after the project launches...

Welcome to UC! It's awesome to have to designers here!
When do you think these will be available? And will they be on Kickstarter?

Awesome. Thanks!
Did you design these by hand?

Evan, read the first couple posts by Uusi! Haha

Yes, Linnea and I worked together to design the entire deck by hand. On this deck Linnea did all the painting (gouache, sort of like watercolor) and I did all the hand lettering of the type with pen and ink. All the design work and concepting we did together.

Availability of the deck will depend on how well the KS (and how fast) gets funded (if it does). USPCC is giving us an Oct. 5th deadline for having the cards printed in 2012. So... if our KS project does extremely well early on (very early on) we MIGHT be able to have the decks available before the end of the year - otherwise, if we get funded at a somewhat normal pace they will be available sometime in January.

That's incredible! I absolutely love your artwork.

Thank you!

I just wants to say that designing this by hand is really awesome! Great work!

Thanks so much for the compliment Lara! And thanks for contacting your blogger friend too!

You guys do great work and I'm looking forward to this one. I love seeing new ideas and you bring a lot of them. Well done indeed.

Thanks Paul! I agree with what you said about seeing new ideas - it's great to be back on the boards and see all the new designs going on and also to see more handwork being incorporated into deck designs, speaking of which we are excited to see your new deck! is it out yet? (we have a tendency to be hermits when we are working on new designs).

I love Uusi, glad I got the Blue Bloods, beautiful artwork. These are a must buy for me as well.
