Hello card universe. I'm very new here.*music stops. Saloon door creaks closed behind me*
My name is Christian Sass. I'm a 40 ish year old designer from Illinois. I'm not new to design by any stretch, but l am relatively new to the playing card design world. And by world, from where I'm standing is seems pretty huge! I have been working as a professional artist in one capacity or another since 1988.

http://be.net/sastianA few weeks ago, a friend and colleague of mine introduced me to the concept of designing playing cards. At first I was a little skeptical, but it would be fair to say that has given way to full blown enthusiasm! I spent a good 4 days alone just reading about card history and I'm dumbfounded how rich the tapestry of art and culture is with playing cards.
Anyway, I don't want to go too crazy with a short book on here, I just wanted to announce that I'm here, and announce that I'm currently working on designing my first deck with crazy enthusiasm, I literally just found out about this forum tonight and though I should waste no time lurking, but throw caution to the wind and shout "hello world!"
I'll post about the deck I'm working on tomorrow in the appropriate forum category.
