as an early birthday present, i got the Bicycle Pluma decks. pretty cool. anyone else have them?

thanks Mirror

Thanks for the comments. Mirror why do you "highly recommend" them? Lol

do any of you guys print your own cards? if so, how do you do it? what machinery, software, etc. do you need?

hey guys. im more of an idea kinda guy but not much of an artist. would there be anyone willing to help me bring my cards to life? any graphic artists willing to take on my ideas? in addition to some of the themes ive showed you, heres a card from my Patriotic deck

Hey Galen, what design software do you use?

im still new to this cardistry thing and was just wondering about sites like gofundme and Kickstarter. what exactly do they do? are they safe? thanks

those look great! thanks for sharing

Thanks montecarlojoe. Yeah I was kinda debating on the suits. I also had the cowboy boot and a lasso in mind. I just thought of a rattler even. Well see tho. Dont think ill use a badge tho. I use stars in some of my other themes so was gonna try to stay away from that one. Well see what happens tho

im sure its been done before by many but its just a Western themed deck im trying out. dont know if ill go through with it. id have to see the artwork that could be done

very nice Emmanuel. i noticed two Aces of Hearts tho??

Is there any pictures for the Sawdust one?

these look awesome. id get them. what was your third deck Emmanuel?

those look pretty cool Stan

well this one doesnt have a theme but I guess I can come up with one lol

Thanks Jase for the info. Ill look into it. As for this deck, like I said this one doesnt really have a theme per se. It was just an idea I had on the cards today. Look at my Santa one tho for a Christmas theme deck

hey volant, those were for Sprouts because he wanted to see some of the court cards. remember these are just a rough draft. im trying to find a designer to make them "official". um, now that i think about it, i guess there really is no theme per se. just a version of the existing playing c...

sorry i dont know how to upload multiple attachments if thats possible. the Valet i already showed you and then the Jack of Clubs..... JC.jpg for my other deck, the names are Lord (King), Dame (Queen), Valet, and Knave (Jack). ive always liked the KNAVE name better but didnt want two K's so i had to...

the Queen of Clubs

yes Dr. Sprout that is correct. just four court cards and four suits lol. here is the King of Clubs

and a Santa from my Christmas deck

here is a pharaoh from my Egyptian deck

Wow thats really cool but I just have the one lol. Very cool idea tho

whos Dr. Sprouts?

well this is one of the themes. in this deck i planned on making each suit a different color, changing the names of the courts, and added the Valet back in to make it a 58 card deck. some of my other themes include Patriotic, Egyptian, and Native American decks

and the Valet of Clubs

found it lol. heres a King of Diamonds

sorry im not seeing "upload" or "inline", etc. Am i looking at the wrong place?

gotcha. yeah i was wondering where the topic went lol. so how can i post a picture on here? sorry havent been in a forum in a while

hey guys. ive loved playing cards since i was a kid. so much that in the recent years, i started customizing my own (suits, courts, themes, etc.). i have a lot of ideas but my prototypes are just silly clip art. my problem is that im not much of an artist, so all of my stuff is simply rough drafts. ...
