Clipped Wings

[Don Boyer]

Emmanuel - that's really sharp-looking!

[Emmanuel]

Thank you!

Recently, I cut out my logo, and I think I'm going to offer custom 3D paper artwork as a higher-end pledge. I'll take the initial of the backer, cut it out, and have it framed and shipped.

That looks great!  Cant wait til you launch your Kickstarter!  You will do great!

Here are some photos of the hardcover Clipped Wings Collector's Art Book that will be a part of the campaign. I just have to do some minor editing, but I'm really happy with how they've turned out. The campaign video will be filmed this coming weekend.

[Yashi]

That's an excellent addition! Can't wait 

[Jamm Pakd Cards]

I really like that!  Looks great! The size looks great as well.  Good size pages to really be able to look at the art details.

I am excited for this launch. So much talent. And great sounding rewards so far.

Singed decks and uncuts for early birds? I am going to do everything I can to be at this lauch with my finger on the trigger!

[Emmanuel]

Thank you all! I considered offering a softcover book (seem in the third photo), but the size of the photos in it were too small for my tastes.

However, after getting feedback from a few members at UnitedCardists, I decided to also offer a hardcover Curator deck collector's art book as well (same dimensions and layout as the Clipped Wings book).

As long as you also make a compilation art book when all your paper-cutting art decks are completed! 

Seriously, it's a great idea - it would serve as a companion not only to the deck but to the showings you have for it in galleries.  In your shoes, I'd consider making a book for each deck before it becomes a deck, in order to sell them at those showings I mentioned.

Speaking of which - do you keep the originals, or do you sell them?

Having the books for art shows is a fantastic idea, Don! I should have done that in the past.

I've kept all the originals so far.

There's nothing stopping you (aside from cost!) from having the books ready for future showings.

Hang on to those originals - but consider making some prints available.  Either pick a handful of the most popular, or make them on demand based on the buyer's choice of card.  Those would also make a great art show "souvenir" in addition to something for the deck's KS campaign.  1:1 scale prints would be terrifically cool, I think.

[Emmanuel]

1:1 Art prints will definitely be part of the campaign, and I'll give backers their choice of card.

No reason on Earth they couldn't be part of any showings you have for the originals, right?  Just thinking it would be a good way to make cash.

They certainly can, it's just that most of the places I've shown at in the past were cafes or restaurants. It wasn't possible to leave a supply of prints without risking some kind of damage from the environment. However, it would be appropriate to have an art show or opening for the Delicious deck in a restaurant..

Actually, it's easier than you think.  Instead of pre-printing, set them up as print-on-demand.  Attach a QR code to each piece that, when scanned with a smartphone, takes the art lover to the ordering page for that particular print.  Using small submission cards to record orders also works, though not as efficiently.  So does handing out cards with the URL for the ordering site.  But the best response is with QR codes - quick, easy, instant gratification, and the vast majority of cellphones in use today are smartphones, or at least equipped with a camera of adequate resolution.

That is a really good idea Don, I think I'm going to have to pick up a print this time around......now to find more wall space, lol

[Yashi]

Now that Jackson's Army deck was pushed back and his Independence has launched, are we seeing this soon?

[Emmanuel]

If Kickstarter approves the campaign page quickly, yes 

[Yashi]

Great! I can't wait. 

[popetown]

Subbed here as well!
