Hi Everybody,

I've been a member for a few months and have been posting sporadically for a couple months now, but never really introduced myself. My name is Randy and I live in the great city of Indianapolis with my wife, Susan, and our two kids - Violet (4) and Aaron (2). I'm originally from Michigan and graduated from Central Michigan University with a BFA in Graphic Design way back in '95. A short while after college I moved out to the San Francisco bay area, worked with an agency for a number of years and met my wife. Later, we decided to move to Indy to raise our kids in the midwest, a place where you actually know and are friends with your neighbors!

I came across The Discourse a few months ago when I was researching playing card designs and thought it was by far the best out of all of the playing card forums. I was inspired by all of the great playing card designs on Kickstarter and thought collecting all of the unique design could be a great way to be inspired. I love how for under $10 you could purchase a deck of cards that could contain 54 unique pieces of art!

thanks, Randy

People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Hey Randy, "welcome" aboard. I'm glad you love the forums and likewise I absolutely adore your artwork and knowledge of design. It's refreshing to see.

Cards are an amazing form of art. At the end of the day, they're like collectible trading cards for adults. :P

And a late official greeting to you Randy! Needless to say, you've familiarized yourself with the forum well.
