Says it's coming to Kickstarter "July-ish". Looks promising from the preview.

I saw this on Chris's facebook page also.
Looks pretty cool


Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Almost done the Volstead card back - Barrels and and hops and wheat inspired by the Apollo card back circa 1926.

Trying out a alt version of the card back with a copper still - I think I prefer this one. The still looks almost photographic and the shadows add a lot of contrast.

New logo, new doings...

So here's the new DoP logo:

I created this because I wanted a logo that fit the name of our little company better and this one makes a pretty strong visual to go along with the Catch-22 story the name came from. Doc Daneeka has his day ;)

In other news, Volstead is on hold for a bit. Still love the project, but I was having some serious artist's block with the card back and decided to let the creative process take it's course and move on to other projects in the meantime. So, thanks to everyone who encouraged the art, it will happen, but not until 2015. 

Instead, I'm working to make good on my promise to make a "midnight" version of Calaveras. Artwork is almost finalized and I'm excited to get that rolling. It will only be released here on DoP – no KS planned for it as of now. I'm also going to be releasing a slew of new prints with a DotD theme, but they will be entire scenes. It's something I had wanted to do during Calaveras but quickly got inundated with work to get the cards finalized and then to get the art finalized for Oracle. So for me this is getting back to what got me started. It'll be an interesting experiment as I'll run the Calaveras prints as a KS, hopefully by Oct. 1st.

After that, I have already gotten a great start on my next card project. Can't give away too much, but it's themed around tarot. Seriously, it's killing me not to tease you with some of the art, but on the advice of my Samoan legal council I need to keep it close to the vest for a bit...
