Thanks for the nice words about the artwork, Nathan and Lara! I couldn't speak to the specific particulars regarding this set to your expectations with USPCC. In my humble opinion they handle wonderfully and exhibit the quality and professionalism of high quality card printing. Lara, he is indeed rather "Nigel-ish."

Hi Nathan:
After creating a series of "trading cards" that incorporated various character portraits with short biographies, it seemed natural to evolve to a playable card. This would allow for both collectors, game players and fans of monkeys to be reached. The next step for me appears to be exploring the idea of a tarot set.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. Regarding the specs for production, I used Liberty Playing cards located in Arlington, TX.

I can't say for sure, but I believe they are the company responsible for producing the infamous "Most Wanted" Iraqi playing card set.
They generally just work with companies, not individuals. However I was fortunate enough to have a recommendation through a Dallas area printer that connected me with a sales rep. I think the monkey theme caught their fancy.

Hi All:
New to the forums and glad to find this great wealth of info and community. I'm a freelance illustrator transitioning from commercial work to personal, self publishing projects. The last couple of years I've created several series of "cigarette card" sized projects that I've sold online and through the Small Press area of San Diego's Comic Con. I've just released my first playing card deck with 54 individual monkey portraits. I'll post more info in the appropriate area for anyone interested in more details.
Great to be here!
