Sorry I don't know what happened to it, it was working before. It was just a preview page though.

I'll just leave it there as well. 
Not a big fan of there work, or how they run there campaigns.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

What "they"?  It's one guy, Jeremiah DesLonde.  He said he's hired a bunch of artists now, but the proof is in the printing...

The 5th Element live KS project



Quote
A special edition Metal Print from the upcoming ELEMENTS playing cards deck. THIS is the only place to get it!!

Quote
This 5 day project is for a 5" x 7" metal print, scratch resistant, waterproof mini poster, hand finished featuring a brilliant metallic ink. The Poster alone would go for the reward amount, but we're including a Signed Deck with it.

Metallic Ink in metal. And yes, it's as amazing as you're imagining it might be. The Ink is actually IN the metal not on it, making it incredibly durable. The colors are better and more vibrant than you could ever get on paper. It's scratch proof, fingerprint proof, and all kinds of dazzling.

So the ink is in the metal...  Unless he's developed transparent metal, how is one supposed to see this ink?

I get the feeling he doesn't know what he's talking about.  And I find it bizarre that anyone would fund a project not for a deck, but for an ADVERTISEMENT for a deck!

He also says he's delivering on the Wine Deck to his backers - but the project was canceled!

Jeremiah, what the heck are you doing?

He redid the Wine Project, non-Bicycle (he used Pr1me), for a short period that did fund. Under his other alias, Alien Slink:

See, now, that statement right there - that his company has an "alias" - don't you see that as a little troubling?  In THIS alias, the project failed.

I do see that as a little troubling. I'm in total agreement. I was only explaining how the Wine deck was funded :)

So far, the only decks he's been able to fund are short runs from low-budget printers.  Every time he tried raising enough cash to print with USPC, he missed the goal or was in danger of missing so simply canceled the project.

Alien Ink takes the themes of our decks as far as they can possibly go, and the ELEMENTS deck is no different!! We've fused the standard pips, each with their own element to make some really awesome, totally and completely custom pips. It's what we do :-) They're almost gone tho so get over there and pledge!!

There are 3 days left to come and be a part of the project and we welcome you there!! Thanks so much and stay awesome!

While I do appreciate that you are trying to promote your deck, Jeremiah, please DO NOT CREATE NEW TOPICS for a deck that already has one.

BTW: where've you been all this time?  Nothing's been posted in your topic since the 7th of April!  What kind of promoting is that - the stealth approach?
