Seeing how he did with the Artist cards, I'm stoked for this release.

I love the art deco inspiration! The movie poster with Leo DiCaprio had similar art deco style.

Re: The Great Gatsby by Captan Card Co. / Andrei Captan
I’m still interested but I’m not a fan of that seal at all. Maybe it’s the colour or the seal covering the design but not a fan at the moment.

Re: The Great Gatsby by Captan Card Co. / Andrei Captan
Wow, what I see of the art so far freakin' NAILS IT.
You have my attention, sir!
That said... I didn't read this book in high school when most of my classmates did (long story short; I had switched English classes mid-year and left one teacher's class before she got to it and joined the other class after they'd finished it.) I read it about ten years ago or so just to see what the fuss was about.
I'm reading along, reading along... yeah, this is good, but it's not like it's all that.
And then I get to this line on the last page, and given the context of everything that had come before, it just absolutely wrecked me:

I realize art affects us all in different ways, and different folks took different things away from this novel, but holy crap. That line out of context is just good writing. But for me, in the context of the novel, that line is one of the most devastating sentences I've ever read.
This space intentionally left blank.

I like what I've seen so far and I like that seal a lot. The contrast of the bright green with the rest of the tuck is very evocative.

Re: The Great Gatsby by Captan Card Co. / Andrei Captan
Is this a Kickstarter campaign or a direct release?

You hit the nail on the head with those spectacles and eyes. I get a very eerie feel from them.

Thank you so much! That was the intention! It was definitely a Tetris game fitting references and designs together haha.

Re: The Great Gatsby by Captan Card Co. / Andrei Captan [KS June 21]
Officially licensed! Was wondering about the similarities to the Leo poster+his signature on the tuck. Very nice get, Andrei.
