I can see why, rather crafty.


Malthus are you considering getting them printed?

As iirc there are specialist card printers on the web who do any amount 1+ print runs for around $10 a pack. And that's on proper card stock and your choice of finishes.

Though it was a few years back that I check the companies out.

I'm considering printing some. As long as the Disney IP types don't hunt me down.

Yep, the 6 of diamonds looks like a quite time consuming piece of work. Finished product looks great though.

I agree that these all would make a fine set of cards!

Thanks! It's a bit darker in tone than most of the others ...

I'm having some trouble with the five - scrapped a couple of scribbled designs already.

Finally, a Five of Diamonds ... less dark in content this time!

Four of Diamonds:

[KRonn]

Yep, those are less dark, more upbeat. Four of diamonds is cute, perky.

Did you miss the giant bug with all the teeth?

I'm wondering if you have ever considered early retirement Malthus?

If you could quit at 55 you could have a shot at being a full-time artist in some degree of comfort

Nope, but the central character seemed unimpressed by it as she went sauntering along.

I think my early experiences of trying to make a living selling art put me off doing it for cash, even assuming anyone would buy ... and I lack the means to live on what I have/will have by 55.
