Oh my goodness! I can't wait! The Bicycle Brimestone deck brough is Fire, and now Quicksilver brings us Ice. I'm assuming that's the theme, right? I'll be one of the first backers up there, you bet! Are you sure that these decks won't have copyright issues as the Brimestone deck? I loved the first back design, but I still loved the deck after the change (although many people didn't).

Looking forward for this release. Much like many artists who go in a series. Fire then ice. Brings the decks closer together even though they are not alike. Your artwork is beautiful.

Hmm...  Brimstone is "fire", but Quicksilver is actually mercury, not ice.  The element mercury, the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature.  Where did you get "ice" from?

Oh sorry. I didn't bother reading the name. I just assumed by the color of the font.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Russel, is it safe to assume that the Quicksilver deck will be a close opposite to the Brimestone deck?

Russel, is it safe to assume that the Quicksilver deck will be a close opposite to the Brimestone deck?

First, it's "BRIMSTONE".  Stop adding the extra E!

Second, he said below the theme is similar.  Rather than "ice", he meant the font color to evoke "water", because that's more of what the deck is about.  So, since fire and water are generally considered opposites, I'd say they're in the same theme but more along the lines of "opposing factions".

Russ: more guesses!  Fire, water...  I'm guessing the last deck will be either air or earth!

Also: have you considered revisiting the original card back for the Brimstone, but using the Maiden Back instead of the Rider Back?  You can modify them as much as you wish, and the Maiden Back is closer to the Rider Back than the Mandolin Back ever was.  Mandolins are good decks, but it still boggles my mind how they came up with the idea of using a mandolin in the design or how little it has to do with bicycles...  That's a spitballing session I would have enjoyed watching from the fly-on-the-wall cam!  I'm guessing there were libations...  :))

I've actually thought about it, but I've decided a fully custom back on my cards is best.  People can buy cards anywhere and from multiple sources.  Card collectors today are demanding fully custom decks and I don't want to make it seem like I am just copy and pasting my designs together.


Someday I might make a gaff deck and use the Maiden back. For now, I have too many of my own ideas!

Hmm...  Is it a deck?  A box?  Bigger than a breadbox?  Do people even still make breadboxes?  :))


Whatever it is, this little peek looks promising - but I'm sure we'd all like to know just a bit more!  Photo detail teasers are so 2011...

Haha, At least I didn't use a shitty filter.

I physically can't show more as the product isn't finished yet.  I'll have more details early January.

Because they've sold so many boxes before?   ???

I doubt it.

Codenames are just that: code names, meant to conceal the intent or real name.  When location shooting began in Finsk, Norway on "The Empire Strikes Back", Lucasfilm used a code name, "Blue Harvest", for all the production rentals, crew jackets and caps, etc. to avoid tipping anyone off that the first Star Wars sequel was being made.  They even had an ad-line for it that trumped it up as some kind of horror movie.

TL:DR - the code name may have absolutely nothing to do with the actual product.
