Show you what I meant. The following pics were taken before I painted the edges. The Bicycle Alchemy has awesome artwork, however we can only see the colored edges from the face side. (this deck is traditional cut too)

Those look barely touched even from the face side, it just looks like you're doing it wrong. The entire side of the deck should be red after you're done...

Again, you missed something. ??? ???
 
I won't try other colors, but this thread helps me much. Many of my friends know I hate black bordered decks because of the white chipping. Now I don't hate them that much and might buy some in the future.  :P
 
@Russell, they are beautiful. ;)

I just took these... i cant flourish or fan to save my life. Crappy quality with horrible lighting, sorry.


I keep forgetting to take pics when I am at my studio.


I will have some 'professional' pics up and on our site within a month.
















Wow, they look awesome!

I might have to break out the Sharpie, and crack open a deck of Brimstones!

Ok, I will try to do it this weekend if I have time.

Also someone should try gold sharpie on a deck of Brimstones. I think it would look dope. I would try it except for the fact that I don't have a deck of 'em.

Yeah, I used gold sharpies to sign the decks.


I have a feeling it will take 3-4 passes to make the gold ink show up.  I'll give it a whirl sometime.

Gold would look pretty damn awesome! I might need to buy a couple brimestone now. I didn`t know about KS when they came out :'(  Only deck of Russels[size=78%] [/size]I could have got was the Americanas buy I am a canadian so... those arn`t really my style.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Around 40 minutes.

I take my time, and do one card at a time.

I might pick up a green sharpie.. Green Reversed back!

Nice CBJ! I have to do one of my colour decks now.


Here are my Tattoos, as promised. Due to it's tendency to chip this deck really benefits from looking sharp.

You should just do thy for all reversed backs! They make a purple one right? If so, that would look awesome. You just need to make sure they are the right shade of colors.

They made 6 regular colors... and only 5 Reversed.  They don't have a purple one.
