Adding to the Deck

So, I've decided recently that I'd like to take on a larger-scale project, and from my last card I've decided to make a deck of cards by hand. Since my decision to leave art school, I've grappled with the graphic design world, and tried to figure out as to why it did not appeal to me in the slightest. Call me a purist, but I really enjoy a hand-drawn line that isn't perfected, and I think Helvetica is the most irritating font on this planet. So here I am, teaching myself to use a scanner (not very well thus far), and uploading this deck slowly, but surely. Everything is hand drawn, and I am not editing any colors of aspects of the drawing (aside from cropping borders and attempting to make them look presentable).


So, this deck of cards is going to be an interactive experience, to a degree. Each suit will be a category of people in my life (or past), and each card will represent someone I have been influenced by in my lifetime. You never know, you could be in the deck, hmm? As long as you take none of it seriously, your viewing process (I hope) will be entertaining. Thanks for looking, you 20 viewers that are only here because you were expecting a porn site!
