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...

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 g...

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...

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 ...

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 collectio...

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.

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...

The second print run of the Innocence Playing Cards is (almost) sold out - you won’t be able to reorder it from your favorite magic shops anymore.

But I’ve saved the very last box for you.
To mark the occasion, I’m offering an exclusive bundle with all 3 Innocence Editions (regular, gold and holo) - with a discount of more than 3...

I asked WJPC for a video. The presentation could be improved… :D But the cards looks great!

RED ROSES KING OF CLUBS 👑♣️

Beauties, it's been a little quiet here lately - I've been deeply involved in helping my friend Farid prepare for his new live magic show. Thank you so much for your patience and support. Over the past two days, I've fully shifted my focus back to cards, and I'm excited to share the first results with you.

Please welcome Kevin as the new K...

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...

90s Kids Collection

Spring has finally arrived - and with it, a fresh dose of good vibes.
Feeling inspired by the sunshine (and a bit of nostalgia), I’ve just dropped a few brand-new shirt designs.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Black Roses Playing Cards in 2024, I've brought back the very first edition - as a faithful replica of the 2014 design.
While the look and layout remain true to the original, this anniversary edition features improved card stock and handling, off...

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 a...

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 ...
