The Apothecary release is the newest line from Seasons and is set to launch on October 17th, National Playing Card Collection Day.
This one had a lot of delays but it's finally happening in less than a week!  :D

Back Design


Behind the scenes look of the vector work that takes place behind each card.




I'm pretty excited for this launch because it has an added level of engagement that you don't see in the everyday campaign. You can check out an exclusive sneak peek before the campaign here: www.ApothecaryTales.com
The secret password is "TellMeAStory".


I hope to see you guys at launch! To make it easier for time zones I made another Facebook event page which will notify you directly an hour before it starts. https://www.facebook.com/events/174603119654834/

Anyone else loving that diamond pip? The transition on the JoH is just wow. I'm consistently blown away by your designs, this time I feel like you've upped the ante. I'll be there for sure.

We're live guys! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2062783196/apothecary-playing-cards-inspiration-you-can-touch/description

I did a lot of experimenting with this one from the art to the tier structure and the marketing. I hope you guys enjoy it!

If you have any questions, I'll be available in person at the 52+ Joker convention this week.  ;D

Hand gilded decks boxed with inspiration that you can literally touch. Launched today.



I remade the Kickstarter video so that you can actually see the gilding and ink in action. Hope you enjoy!

That ink thing is pretty freaky stuff.  Just on the tuck box?
