I thought he did this already... :))
-
Wonder if he will switch any focus to foreign currency?
-
People have been asking for a follow-up to the Fed 52 ever since it was completed, this might be it. Looking forward to it. ;D
-
Wonder if he will switch any focus to foreign currency?
Perhaps a different one for each suit? That could be fun and mix of styles.

I hope it will be one of the many beautiful currencies from around the world. Probably not though haha. Doesn't suit the theme of his products to do that, we'll have to wait and see.

Jackson is pretty patriotic, and seems to stick, both artistically and conceptually to americana. I suspect this will be a spiritual sucessor to his Federal series if it isn't a direct 3rd. I love seeing Jackson back to his card design roots, he really shines with the intaglio style currency designs.
-
There's nothing to stop him from doing both a new US set and an International one, although maybe not all at one time!
I'm a big fan of European currency, mostly U.K notes but also the old French francs and others, so that could be very, very cool.
I'm glad he spent the last year exploring other themes, but also glad he's getting back to that which put him on the map.

A thought comes to mind...
When I was a kid, I had a collection of various foreign currencies, some in languages I couldn't even understand. In general, they tended to be more colorful and interesting - the US wasn't using watermarks yet, never mind the colored fibers, holographic ink, plastic stripe, etc.
One thing I did notice was that on some of the more colorful currencies, there was a notation indicating that they were printed by an American company! I have no recall of what that company was, but many of us know about the American Banknote Company, and their most-famous entry into the world of playing cards, Aristocrat. The were sold to Russell PCC, which was in turn bought by USPC.
Seeing THAT kind of intaglio-style work would be pretty impressive. I think it's regrettable that such wonderful card designs such as that and Blue Ribbon are no longer in print, not to mention the terrific stock used.

I believe American Bank Note Company is the same company your referencing for the international currency. There are many examples on eBay of the international money they printed.
Jackson's currency work has been a wonderful movement to have seen develop here before our eyes. I'm sure this will be no different. I am however, more fond of Jackson's prints then his cards.
-
Legal Tender...
Round cards printed like coins. Copper, silver, and gold foil.
No collector coin, just a collector change purse/fanny pack.
My talents amaze even me! ;-)
Seriously though, the cool thing about Jackson is that not only does he have the talent to transition art from his head to paper, he always seems to come up with ideas that have broad appeal. That's a deadly (for my bank account) combination! I am eagerly awaiting details on this project!
-
At risk of sounding negative, I would like to see him move away from various depictions of the bald eagle

Never feel as if you have no right to speak your mind! Sometimes I'm negative about a particular design, but usually because it's poorly designed. When possible, I try to offer constructive criticisms. A designer who's not simply a designer in name rather than deed will take the negative just as well as the positive, because it might show them a better direction to take their work in.
-
With the different Sherlock decks, the KW Tallies, the Scarlett Tallies, the Silver Arrows (although they're on the backburner right now), the National Pastime decks we've seen hints of, and other stuff coming up I'd say he's covering more ground than just the bald eagle though. ;)
-
UPDATE (most likely anyhow, can only assume this is what was meant by the early tease) - Some exciting news! Unlike the United States, not all countries currency and the art depicted on them is public domain. I am happy to announce that after months of back and forth I have finally gotten permission by the Bank of Canada to reproduce a series of playing cards inspired by the beautiful art found on Canadian Bank Notes both past and modern. Thank you to everybody for your continued support and encouragement.

Gosh, a 25 cent note? Signed by the Deputy Minister of Finance?
Canada is so weird... ;D
-
Jackson corrected me. This update has nothing to do with legal tender. So two new efforts? Does that man never sleep?

Cool little article about art on various forms of currency. If someone did decide to do a deck on foreign currency, it probably would be best not to mix them together because they're all so unique. "Legal Tender Series" ???
-

Having spied on him for the last few weeks in a very creepy manner, I can confirm that he does not sleep. He tends to "rest" by simply drawing slower for a few hours and then he speeds up again.
-
Just posted on Facebook about 1 hour ago - I didn't see that coming, landscape money turned into portrait orientated cards. Weird, but very interested to see more.
Legal Tender. Coming in April.

EDIT - They just posted another one below, but instead of Legal Tender called it Federal 52 2nd Edition and has slight differences. Seeing this one I can start to envision the rest and am getting pretty excited for this one. Will be a multi deck purchase for sure, probably another friggen uncut in my future too. :shock:
The big question is how many decks is this all at once? Perhaps 2 decks in same Kickstarter like the others? Assume these are 2 different decks and Legal Tender isn't just the name of the ONLY upcoming Federal 52 2nd Edition.

Layout seems a little off and it doesn't feel balanced.. I feel like maybe the King is too big and the rest of the elemts feel crammed in. As usually the quality of the illustration is spot on.
-
He's stated that this is going to be his massive project of 2015...I'd be lying if I said I was extremely excited for this...kind of hoped that he would leave well enough alone as far as his work on United States currency.
I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't going to still buy the cards regardless ;)
-
FYI - Jackson confirmed the first image is from the Legal Tender deck which will be a sister deck to the 2nd image of the Federal 52 Rev 2 deck (like Silver/Gold Certificate were to the other Fed 52 Kickstarter projects).
Yeah, super looking forward to this one.
-
I actually prefer the 1st design to the 2nd one... It's true that the King is perhaps disproportionately large, but I like the fact that the design overall is less "busy" than the second design. There's still a lot of complexity and detail going on, but not overwhelmingly so as it is in the second design, IMO. I find that the background details in the 2nd design detract too much from the central/'main image...
-
I always imagined if Jackson announced another Fed52 project I'd be super hyped. But for some reason my reaction was just 'oh cool' and that was about it. I'll grab a few - obviously - and stick them on the shelf with the others.
More interested to see whats coming later from the King's Wild artist series

So - I'm guessing it's NOT US currency... :))

Nah it's still US currency... From the future after China calls in all the debt the US Treasury owes them and ends up owning the Treasury... =P
Just kidding - please don't start a flame war on politics or monetary policy - it really was just a joke! =P

I'm probably a member of the 2% club when it comes to money decks. I don't like them haha. They're just not my thing, I have some awaiting the occasion to gift them to the various peoples in my life who do like money decks. This looks like it may be interesting though. I'm going to keep an open mind when I see the campaign launch.

Looks a lot more colorful than the Fed52 series, no? Not sure if that's your thing or not... I personally think it looks interesting and am looking forward to seeing more!

Absolutely looks more colorful and vibrant. That's exactly what has me wanting to see more with an open mind. :)

It seems like JR is using the Chinese RMB notes for legal Tender.

I might even guess he'd use more than one nation's currency.

Everyone was speculating that it was based on foreign currency... It's a shame that no one actually uploaded the images, since all the links are now BROKEN - bye bye, images...
I'm sure it will be nice and very popular - but we've seen this already, haven't we? Looks more like Federal 52, Part 3. I hope there's more to it than what we're seeing so far, something to set it apart.
-
From what I understand, the Canadian currency project is still in the works.

Like green MetalLuxe foiling on the backs? (I'm just hoping, don't have any info on this project.)

When I spoke with USPC reps at the last convention, they stated that due to the application process, MetalLuxe had to be applied to a LARGE area on the card back - the first MetalLuxe release was a Rider Back where the entire design was done in metal foil. This appears more like a card with metal foil details at most. Maybe USPC improved the MetalLuxe process since then, maybe Jackson's going all-foil, but neither seems likely based on what we're seeing.

Project is live!

Also, he's using EPCC. So we'll have perfect registration, metallic inks, foiling on the back of both decks, UV spot effects to create hidden images on the card faces and backs (simulating watermarks of real currency), and possible holographic foil on cards (simulating security strips on currency). This is a mountain of awesome!

Is it just the two decks for sale? No limited, ultra-rare, gilded with Nazi gold editions?

I like the feather that sticks out from the border.

I think an exceptional deck. I bought one of each , because I had more money and am aware ask for more when the project is based. It is also a deck that will go a lot of money and is an opportunity to get an extra good money with it.
