Hello!

I'm an illustrator from Philadelphia and long-time Rummy player (a family tradition when we get together). Since everyone else is a card shark in the family besides me, I decided to apply my skills at developing a custom deck of cards - which is how I found this forum! The cards will be launched on Kickstarter and already this site is such a wealth of info to help make the campaign successful. I'm hoping to share some drafts of the cards soon and hear some great feedback if anyone will be interested. Looking forward to joining the conversation here.

Welcome to the forum. That's great you've decided to ply your craft at playing card design. Hope it's a lot of fun for you. Looking forward to seeing your design and hearing your opinions.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Welcome Sarah F. If you have any questions, just ask.

BTW, I'm digging your deck imagery on Instagram. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the pack.

Again, welcome to the PCF.

Thank you Lee! Appreciate that!

I've been looking over the Design and Development thread and there's so much helpful info there. I'm already looking over my deck for improvements. Getting very psyched for this process. :)

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Allow me to welcome you as well - I got a peek at your website and was quite impressed at your work.

Please, feel welcome here.  Never be afraid to ask a question - we were all newbies once so if the search feature doesn't help, we will, and we won't make you feel silly for asking.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to offer the world of playing cards!
