MONO POLY

This deck idea has been floating around on my hard drive for over a year now. That should no longer be the case. I want to print 500 decks.

When I was thinking about a name for the deck, I thought about how the deck includes the Black Roses Monogram logo, but at the same time, its design could also be a Polyantha deck, with the repeating patterns. Monogram + Polyanta... Mono Poly.

Just a few words

First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support on Kickstarter! I’ve been quieter here on Patreon than ever before these past few weeks, simply because I poured all my time and energy into the new project. The success of this campaign means a lot to me - without it, I’d be drowning in taxes, which unfortunately has cast a bit of a shadow over all the work I’ve done these past two years.

Once this campaign is wrapped up, I’ll turn my attention to th...

CALI-TALLY!

Last week Henry from SoCal Playing Cards asked me if I could help with a Joker design for a new SoCal Playing Cards deck.

To be honest, my first thought was why not use AI for this. Really just a few seconds passed after this thought and Henry shared with me an AI generated Joker that a friend of his had created. Henry wrote: "I am 100% in favor of using a real artist."

Here is the AI-generated image from his buddy:

Red Roses Court Cards: Your First Look

Beauties, I'm working on finishing the Kickstarter page every day now - somehow time is just flying. It also hit me today that I haven't really given you a proper look at what to expect from the deck. So here's a look at all the court cards, just for you:

Red Roses Ace of Spades - A Few Thoughts

I think this is what the final Ace of Spades for the Red Roses Gold Foil Premium Edition will look like.

My original plan was to create three or four variations and let you vote for your favorite. But honestly, I think this version is just perfect.

The original Red Roses Ace was entirely black - even though I could have made the rose petals red back then. I can't quite remember why I left them black, but I guess I was working under the mindset that an Ace of Spades simply has to b...

Red Roses Gold Foil Edition - Kickstarter Approved

Beauties, Kickstarter has just approved my Red Roses campaign - which means we could technically already launch the pre-launch page and start gathering followers!

A good amount of followers are one of the best indicators of whether a campaign will succeed or not.

To be honest, everything is currently overlapping with the fulfillment of my last campaign, and I haven't really had a chance to catch my breath. It's a bit overwhelming, and I'm honestly nervous about how the new deck wi...

Black Roses Private Collection

Beauties, it's gotten a little quieter here on Patreon - but rest assured, I'm working every single day to get your Kickstarter rewards to you as soon as possible.

In the midst of all the fulfillment madness (nearly two-thirds of the packages have already gone out today!), I thought I'd offer you something special from my private collection.

Some of these decks are sold out, some are hard to find. It's not easy for me to part with them, but I know they will be in good hands with y...

A Small Thank You in Your Mailbox

Beauties,

The decks from my latest Kickstarter campaign will finally arrive in just a few days!

As a little extra, every package will include this postcard - not only as a thank-you, but also as a sneak peek at what’s coming in the next campaign.

And honestly? With that gold foil, it’s a real eye-catcher all on its own.

I’m super happy with how it turned out and can’t wait for you to see it in person!

Much love

Daniel

Devil in the Details

Beauties, I hope you're all doing well and staying healthy. The weeks are flying by lately, and my life currently feels like it's just work and paying bills. But I didn't want to miss the chance to give you a more detailed update.

For the past month and a half, barely a day has gone by without me working on the court cards for the upcoming Gold Foil Red Roses and BR White Gold Edition. These aren't major design updates or brand new illustrations - the devil's in the details again. All t...

Faithfully Redrawn

There are two main methods to apply foil to playing cards: cold foil, which allows for extremely fine detail, and hot foil.

For the longest time, hot foil wasn't an option for me, as most printers I spoke with had the issue of the foil leaving an unwanted embossing effect on the back - something I definitely wanted to avoid.

WJPC is the first manufacturer I found that handles hot foil co...

WHITE GOLD EDITION RELOADED

Back in 2018, the Black Roses White Gold Edition was my very first add-on deck on Kickstarter. For the Red Roses Gold Foil Edition campaign, it only feels right to bring 1000 White Gold Editions back - but this time, with gold foil instead of "just" metallic gold ink. In the context of the original Red Roses campaign, it feels like a nostalgic and natural evolution - the next step that ties the story together beautifully.

I'm currently targeting June 28 for the campaign launch.<...

Red Roses King of Hearts

When I first started drawing faces on court cards, I thought the more extravagant, the better. It wasn't until later that I realized subtle changes have a much greater "aha" effect - especially when they're only noticed at second glance. That's when I began replacing all the heads I had drawn with the standard ones, focusing mainly on changing just the face itself. The King of Hearts is one of only ...
