Introducing Myself

[russbrett]

Hey, guys!

Russell from New York, here.

My art studio has spent the year designing a deck and I've been using this site as a "how-to."

Figured I'd join up and introduce myself as we near completion and I have some final questions.

Love the site.  Love the decks.  Glad a site like this exists.

Welcome aboard, Russell.  If you need some questions answered about the board, let us know and we'll try to help you out.  Anything you couldn't find in the search function, just ask - we go easy on the newbies 'cause we were all there once.

If you have questions about deck-making, I, too, am from New York (living in Yonkers now but still working in the city) and I do consulting work for deck designers/artists.

Thanks, Don.

We are complete newbs when it comes to playing cards.  We mostly do comic books, but really wanted to do an art intensive card deck (that was not a trading card game).

Also, if you hit New York Comic Con, be sure to swing by the Darby Pop booth (2107) and say hi.  My new comic "Side-Kicked" is debuting at the con.

(edited to add "not" to the parenthetical)

I'd love to, but unfortunately it overlaps with 52 Plus Joker's 2015 Annual Convention in Orlando.  I'll be waving at Mickey...

Well, that certainly sounds like fun, too.

And my above statement should have read: (that was not a trading card game).

We are very much interested in doing a standard playing card deck (but with a little artistic and narrative flavor).

I'm hounding one of my artists to finish a card to show the forum and get some input.

Thanks, again.
