Hello PCF users!

Some of you guys might remember me from the early days of Kings Wild Project (I may have answered your questions on Kickstarter or helped with your order) or as that guy that designed a series inspired by Bee, The Hive, and then recently, a Chinese theme deck, Dynasty.

I've got a deck coming out soon: Marquis Playing Cards. Here's a quick teaser image (photo by the wonder Anthony Ingrassia) and there's a short first look article on Kardify . More info and images soon.

Love the colors on the card back. I'm excited.  :D
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Ditto what Fess said.....
Like to see these in a spread.

Eddie, you'll see some soon and thanks for the kind words to Fess and you.

I'm in the last stage of finalizing everything and Anthony has taken some amazing photos that'll be popping up later with a more in-depth look at the deck.

I can tell you for sure I've tried to do some new things and listen to feedback that I've gotten from backers.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Just a quick update for everyone, the project launches tomorrow (March 25th) at noon EST on Kickstarter.

Please check it out, but Kardify has kindly written up a first look about Marquis Playing Cards with some lovely photos by Anthony Ingrassia (Sparkz on the PCF) and some renders of some of the tucks for the project.

Hi everyone!

So quick short update: Marquis Playing Cards is now live!

But I wanted to share some images from the project. I wanted to create two completely unique court sets for this project where one is a re-design of traditional court cards in my style while another is an illustrated court sets. One of the coolest thing about the project is that Sherman (of Carat Card Cases) and me have been developing this idea to have a fully engraved on all panel Carat Card Case. It's something we had thought up of during Dynasty, but it was too late for me to use it for the project as the project was funded and in post-production already.

There is a lot to like about this deck.  The unique take on the court cards gives it a fun vibe that I miss from most decks to try to stay too "classy".  But, the back designed is elegant. 
Just getting started in collecting playing cards.  Any help is appreciated.  TY.

agreed - and when so many people talk about how they want original courts - Brendan has given you 2 decks that are NOT cookie cutter - two unique decks with two unique jokers, aces and complete different sets of courts.

2 weeks left of the campaign - show your support for GOOD art and GOOD design
