Hey everyone, I was invited to show my art at the National Audubon Society headquarters in NYC a couple weeks ago, and here's the article that Audubon Magazine wrote about Clipped Wings!

« on: March 19, 2014, 08:08:26 PM »Hi Everyone,
The Clipped Wings Kickstarter page will go live this Thursday, March 20th, at 12:57 pm EDT!
March 20 is the first day of Spring, and 12:57 pm EDT is the moment the Vernal Equinox occurs.
The campaign will have 2 early bird rewards:
1. A signed deck
2. A signed deck + a signed uncut sheet
To Don: should I create a new thread in the Playing Card plethora page, or will this thread be moved there?
Have an alarm set for these!! How many Early bird slots for the signed deck will there be?
Thanks!
There are 200 slots for each early bird tier.

« on: March 04, 2014, 06:07:53 PM »Why are so many cat themed decks getting created on kickstarter. I first thought it was a smart idea because people who are fanatical about cats buy all sorts of unnecessary cat related material. Now I think its getting a little stupid.
Well, we're in a cycle of cat, dog, and bird decks at the moment

« on: February 19, 2014, 08:35:35 PM »Congratulations, Lotrek! Grotesque is a beautiful deck
"It's a solid, but it's juicy. It's a contradiction!"
(Couldn't resist. It's a reference to the current TV ad campaign in the US for Starburst candy. You can probably find the videos on YouTube.)
I mention all of that because yes, it's beautiful, but also yes, the modern meaning for grotesque is anything but beautiful. You did a fine job on this and the UC forum should be proud of it.
I knew someone was going to point out the contradiction, haha.

They're HOPC decks.
Randy was really kind to give me a preview of the campaign awhile back, and the series is beautiful. I'm definitely in!

No reason on Earth they couldn't be part of any showings you have for the originals, right? Just thinking it would be a good way to make cash.
They certainly can, it's just that most of the places I've shown at in the past were cafes or restaurants. It wasn't possible to leave a supply of prints without risking some kind of damage from the environment. However, it would be appropriate to have an art show or opening for the Delicious deck in a restaurant..

As long as you also make a compilation art book when all your paper-cutting art decks are completed!
Seriously, it's a great idea - it would serve as a companion not only to the deck but to the showings you have for it in galleries. In your shoes, I'd consider making a book for each deck before it becomes a deck, in order to sell them at those showings I mentioned.
Speaking of which - do you keep the originals, or do you sell them?
Having the books for art shows is a fantastic idea, Don! I should have done that in the past.
I've kept all the originals so far.

Thank you all! I considered offering a softcover book (seem in the third photo), but the size of the photos in it were too small for my tastes.
However, after getting feedback from a few members at UnitedCardists, I decided to also offer a hardcover Curator deck collector's art book as well (same dimensions and layout as the Clipped Wings book).

You REALLY want to know? I had no idea you were a masochist!
My answer to your question is "Way too many!"
Haha, yes I really want to know!
