Hello everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that production is under way. Proofs and art have been submitted and approved and the Crazy 8s are on their way to being printed and finished. I don't have a completion date just yet but will be sure and let you know if there are any updates.

Thank you!

Hello everyone. I first wanted to tell you guys thank you so much for you incredible support encouragement throughout the project. Without your help I couldn't have made this project a reality. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Next Steps

At this point I'm finalizing all art work to submit for production with EPCC. I am also waiting the mandatory 14 day waiting period before Kickstarter will release the funds to start production.

Once the funds have been released from Kickstarter you will be receiving a email invite to manage your pledge and most importantly give me you shipping address. I will be using a post campaign pledge managing platform called Backerkit. I have been using Backerkit for over three years now and it has help me get all of my previous pledges to correct and to the right place.

During the Backerkit process you will be able to specify any addons you might have added and also input your shipping info. You will also be able to log on to Backerkit later to check the shipping status of your order once we get closer to the estimated delivery date.

Thank you again for all of your support!

Enter Crazy 8's T-Shirts
about 9 years ago – Sat, Jan 30, 2016 at 08:56:19 PM

Hello everyone. First off thank you for all of your encourage and support up to this point. I have always loved producing T-shirts and was excited to produce one for this project. I have always loved the quote that I feature on this shirt and the Joker. To my knowledge it was originally said on Buckaroo Bonzai but I know of it because it is something my father said to me all the time, so it means alot to me. 

If you would like to add a t-shirt to your pledge simply add $20 to your pledge.

 I have liked and always wanted to inject some of my self into every project. That is no different with this project. Just this past November my youngest daughter Hannah past away. My wife Becca and I wanted to come up with a way to remember in our lives in a fun way. Becca had an touching idea to start putting a pink balloon into all of our family photos somewhere. I then had the idea to start putting a pink balloon into my playing card work. As you can see in the picture below I was able to work the personal memento into the side art for the LTD tuck case. I have also included a picture of the Standard Edition tuck for comparison. I hope you enjoy these decks in the end as I much as I love and put into them. 

Thank you again for all of your support.
