First created, £10,000 goal, Shipping included For US & UK- £7+£3.75 International shipping for 1 deck, £13+£4.50 for 2

I'm creating a custom Bicycle deck with an organized crime theme. Fully painted Yakuza, Yardies, Mafia in a modern video game style.

This deck reminds me so much of the Grand Theft Auto series!

LOL, was thinking the same thing speedy

I have been inspired by such media as GTA and breaking bad with design elements drawn from currency, weapons and gang culture.  There is also a hint of 70s exploitation with some big afros and big characters.

Someone needs to teach Mr. Big how to spell BICYCLE...  Actually, it's even worse than that - he spelled Bicycle correctly in the body text, but misspelled it in the title.  Now THAT'S attention to detail, all sarcasm intended...

Tired idea, uninspired art, derivative of other decks that only recently preceded it.  Definitely not on my want list.  It looks like he grabbed little bits of clip art from here and there to toss around in the background and for the deck back.  It's not a Merz67 deck, but it's the next worst thing.

If I'm making a professional (or attempted professional) presentation, I'm at least going to take the trouble to proofread the blasted thing before it goes live.  But then again, if my own stepson's teachers are a little challenged in the spelling department, well - no, there is no excuse for that, either!!!

I am actually curious how you manage to spell Bicycle as Bycycle. In a professional sense, it is a stupid mistake, but even though I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, y is not next to i on a keyboard. If it was Bucycle, Bkcycle or Bocycle then it would make more sense. Still unsure how he hasn't picked up on it.

Lazy spellyng and lazy proofreadyng, playn and symple.    Perhaps he's wrytyng yt yn Olde Englysh?

Haha well done Don. Well done. I want to make a poll now and see how long people feel it will take for him to change it. < 24 hrs. 1-2 days. 3-4 days. 5-duration of the project days haha

but misspelled it in the title.

How do you miss THAT?

"If the project is successfully funded, there is little or no risk that you will receive your reward."

At least he is upfront with his scamming scheme. J/K

More proofreading needed, it seems.

When I first read your post, I had to go back and check it on KS. Just to make sure I wasn't the idiot.
