Hello everyone, my name is Steve Minty and I was introduced to this forum by Allan, Pierre and finally PurpleIce who suggested I create a thread to introduce myself. Apologizes for any noobie mistake I might make in advance. Regardless I am here because I just released a kickstarter found here:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steveminty/muertos-day-of-the-dead-playing-cards and because I am excited to meet playing card enthusiasts.
A little bit about myself: I am currently living in LA and I studied graphic design and illustration during college. I've always played card games and texas hold em but I don't consider myself a pro by any means. Now that I think about it, I never finished in the top three when it came to playing Texas Hold Em... I dabbled a bit in slight of hand but a condition that affected my hands forced me to stop. Not to mention my family members would constantly tear me down when I was trying to experiment and learn new skills.
Before launching my kickstarter, I didn't know how big the playing card culture actually was. It was quite amazing to see how passionate everyone is towards playing cards and I think that's one of the greatest things to have.
My passion lies in creating things, whether it's boards or art or shows, I just want to do them all. I hope that my passion in creating the Muertos deck resonates with you. Sorry about my rambling, it's past midnight and I'm sick, but I wanted to post this before I slept! I look forward to hearing from you all!
