Title: Artist from Australia saying Hello
Post by: NineLives on June 22, 2015, 11:43:00 AM

I'm new here - thanks to blue_toy who pointed me to this corner of the web :)

I'm an artist passionate about cards with two self-published decks and inspiration for future projects - my tricks are restricted to pen and paint :) I also enjoy learning about the history of cards - both tarot and playing cards... I grew up admiring beautiful images on cards, which instilled a love of the mystique, secrets and sense of 'anything can happen' when a pack of cards are brought out to play or read. Here I hope to meet fellow deck artists, wanderers, card lovers and more :)

I'll add some of my cards, but wanted to say hello first :)

*wave*

Welcome to the PCF, NineLives.  Cat lover, I presume?  :))

I look forward to seeing the art from you decks.  If you ever opt to try producing a deck via Kickstarter or some other means, keep me in mind - I do consulting work for playing card designers.

Cheers,
Don

Thanks HankMan & wave to Melbourne - I look forward to saying hi again :)

Thanks Don for your supportive welcome - My current decks are self published, though I'm curious about KS and may try them for a future deck  :)
Hoping to post some images soon :)
