I have been busy

Sorry for the lack of blog posts, but I've been working on the playing cards. Now I've made it to 47 (of 54), the psychological process of choosing really does reveal who I like drawing the least. Any fule can do an Amy or an Esther (I've done a few of both along the way), but nothing seems to be able to make my clawlike hands scrawl out a Bentley Quorn for posterity.

Here are a couple of previews (all final ratings for characters remain secret until you buy the set).

 

The other thing I realised along the way is that I don't remember some of the characters' names. Things are pretty tragic in my brain.

The two characters shown are Aretha Vanderslice and Courtney Aphex Twin, who is secret the other Aphex Twin.

Journal of lies: the first Amy was okay but she was drawn a bit too superdeformed for me to make all the cards like that. After I'd done a few, I knew I'd have to go back and fix her.

As for Jeff and Red Dog, you seem to be referring to characters from the foil stamped, hand painted 2nd edition cards, which will be inserted into boxes of Lucky Charms.

Rachel seems to be commanding me not to bluff when I only have an ace with a low kicker.

This might just be the incentive for me to start playing cards again (which I haven't done for years because I keep forgetting the rules to every game I've ever been taught).

Rachel is looking pretty feisty there. Who's she about to punch? My guess is the 2 of Diamonds. That's a pesky card and no mistake.

All I can think of is "gimme, gimme, gimme" which might translate to "forgetting names is only the beginning of the dementia" which is probably just a vain attempt to offset the message of pep left by Terra V.

I like all of them!

We always just use the jokers as wild cards. 'Course we almost only ever play Mau but still.

Yay cards!
