Name or your nickname or Stage name. Which ever you would like us to address you as
No stagename... just Jamie, or jezzurp or whatever (I get called a lot worse)

Where you are from. Because members of the forums come from all over so we would love to know if we have fellow countrymen/women in the house!
I'm from Southsea which is in the island city of Portsmouth on southcoast of England.

Are you a Cardist? Magician? Collector? a combination of the 3?
I am an artist, work in video game industry and I always loved cool decks of cards. Recently started working on a custom deck initially for use in a video game I was making as a personal project but then started really getting into researching the history of the pips and stuff, and the cultures I was using as visual ref the project ballooned a bit. When friends and colleagues saw them and started asking me to get some printed so they can have some I realised I should probably look into getting physical versions made!

What got you into the arts?
I guess answered above. Not sure I qualify as being into 'the arts' as in performance and such but I am a visual artist and work in video games. Predominantly have been UI/UX artist and web developer for most of career but also done a lot of photography and painting and also always been a nerd for pixel art.

How you found out about the forums. We are always secretly curious
Actually googling for info about best suppliers. Was hoping to find a forum where I could ask people who really know their stuff about the print suppliers and pros and cons. Even from lurking I think I have learned a fair bit but wanted to ask some questions etc too and I guess just interact with other people who are nerdy in a similar way to me. I was actually trying to register for a little while but was stuck in a loop until I messaged Don and he helped me out.

Say hello!
