Hello Sinister Friends!

We're ready!

Tiger & I have been busting our butts in the last few weeks both on our "day jobs" and working to get this finished and ready for print. And I'm happy to say, we are there. The art is complete (with the exception of some final editing and decision making), but we are prepping all of the files for the printer. We are still expecting the rewards to be ready on time and plenty of time before holiday shopping.

We didn't make the stretch goal to include additional lefties on every card in the deck and we wanted to try and make that happen anyway, but have decided, both to expedite the project and get it printed, but also we had a number of people giving feedback that they preferred a more traditional deck of faces and numbers. So, we are going with the original plan. However, there are going to be some surprises included as well as some add-ons available. 

Finally, we will also add original art to the store after it's all sent to the printer. Including options for ordering custom pieces. so keep an eye out for that update in the next month.

Thank you all for joining us in this fantastic project. Here's a little treat for you until your rewards are shipped:

We are officially funded!  Thanks for all the support, sharing and feedback.

Michael and I chatted and decided that even tho we didn't hit the stretch goal, we are super excited to add in additional left-handed characters.

Here's what's next:

• May - Finalize card designs and get "print-ready" specs
• June - Recieve and approve/adjust proofs
• August/September - Recieve final product and ship to backers (if customs aren't delayed)

We will be using BackerKit for fulfillment support and to allow you to add on additional decks or items to your reward package if you so desire.  

You can expect a survey from us to confirm shipping address etc. in the next week.

Hey, everyone! Your friendly neighborhood artist, Michael here with one more update. 

You all are the best and I'm so happy that you're on this journey with us and making this card deck happen. It's been one of the most fun illustration projects I've ever done and it gets better every day. I've been drawing constantly over the last several weeks getting the remaining artwork finished and even getting into character illustrations for the number cards in anticipation of our stretch goal. We really want to make all of these and I think we will be pushing that stretch to a lower number as an excuse to do it.Your feedback and suggestions have been an incredible aid in making this the best deck we can make - THANK YOU!!

BONUS TIME> We have brought on the insanely talented (and left handed) Danny Beck to draw a bonus card that will be included in the deck. Check out his art if you don't already know him and give that feller a follow (click his name above for a link). I'm super excited to see what he comes up with.

Lastly, here are a couple more drawings in progress. I'll be finishing up all of the painting this week and we will be getting these to our printer in the next couple of weeks.
