Clipped Wings

[ronyo_faukx]

I am really looking forward to seeing this deck see release.

Just have to order myself some Curator decks now. 

[Emmanuel]

Thank you guys!

Your cards are absolutely stunning. How you approached the design of the deck is pure madness, and I love it! I'm happy to say I've a deck of Curator adorned with your penmanship and I have been looking to give it some playmates. Your deck has so much class I feel I could drop it in my pocket then be invited to the kings ball only to have his daughter offered to me as a wife.

Don't forget that people will sometimes say very critical things about art in an attempt to impress the listener.  (Especially if they have a date with them.)   heck, I'd hire you in a heartbeat if I thought for one second I could afford you.

It looks like you've inspired my sister to try her hand at a larger format, and multiple colors, like you.  She went out and bought the paper a few days ago.  I have no idea what she'll come up with!

Here's some of her recent (Valentine's) stuff:

nice.

Emmanuel, nice as well Even more

I can't wait for this deck to come out. At least there is not too much of 2013 left......

Curator, which I just got recently, is amazing. Every time I go through it - and I've looked at it way more than any other deck in my (modest) collection- I fall in love with it more. And see more. The images, which you'd think would be kind of miscellaneous, really do hang together somehow astonishingly well. Thank you for this work, it's brought some real pleasure to us card nuts.

Thank you Mydnyghte! It is madness, albeit the fun kind

Indeed, there isn't too much of 2013 left! I'm delighted to know that you see more and more in the deck. From my observations, children who play and look at the deck discover and see things much faster than adults, and that always makes me smile

Well I picked up a couple Curator decks the other day and I couldn't agree more with the recent comments....the more you look the more you see. I just love this deck, kudos again to you Emmanuel!

I really like were you are going with this deck.  I love the 4 of spades.  I really like all of them so far.  Each card is telling a little story!  Cant wait to see whats next!

I liked clipped wings as a name.

The name was my tiny contribution to the deck.  He called out for suggestions and like that one best.  I just thought it was apropos, considering both the topic and the medium.

Don indeed came up with the perfect name for this deck. Thank you Don!

With the year halfway over, here are the first two complete suits in Clipped Wings:

I may be sort of within driving distance of Boston, but I work weekends and overnight shifts - I'll be looking for Little Nemo in Slumberland...

Although I am very new to card design and collecting, I think what you have is amazing. The fact you can make these out of paper blows my mind. I certainly would purchase these if and when the time comes. Best of luck in finishing this up =D

You my friend are amazing. I am very jealous of the skill you possess.

Which skill is that?  I just know a lot because I hang out here a lot, I listen and I remember.  It helps that I know a few people in the business, but it's not required.

Sorry to be unclear but that comment was directed towards the artist. Not you Don, sorry bud haha

Thank you everybody! Don, we definitely need to hang out more! I'm in Hudson Heights.

Thank you everybody! Don, we definitely need to hang out more! I'm in Hudson Heights.

Just checked it out on the map - it's a pocket neighborhood inside the larger Washington Heights.  Looks like a decent place to live, but the surrounding neighborhoods were a little dicey back in the day...

I'm going to be out-and-about around the East Village with friends Thursday evening next week, probably do some hanging around in the afternoon before that - was thinking of checking out the local magic shops and trying not to empty my wallet, or maybe seeing a movie...  Just a generally plan-less day of leisure.  Let me know if you want to join me.
