King of Spades 
October 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the king of spades: 19th, 20th, 21st century Everybody facing the same way to start, that's good. I noticed the 19th century king looked a little suspicious, so I tried to mimic that look in this king. Again I liked the dark of... (Read More)
Queen of Spades
October 15th - via: kickstarter.com
These are the three references for the queen of spades: 19th, 20th, 21st century Like so many of the others, she was turned around before the turn of the 20th century. I turned her back just like I did the others: I like the feel of the 19th... (Read More)
Jack of Spades

Three references for the jack of spades: 19th, 20th, 21st century Very easy decision when everyone faces the right way; it just comes down to designing. I combined the belt on the 20th century and 21st century. Again, the dark of the 20th century... (Read More)
King of Hearts
October 12th - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the king of hearts: 19th, 20th, 21st century All facing the same way. Always makes everything easier. Again I thoroughly enjoyed the dark of the 20th century faces. Crown design was taken from the 21st century deck and the... (Read More)
Queen of Hearts
October 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the queen of hearts: 19th, 20th, 21st century I liked the sash on the 19th century cards: it falls over her body in a clean line. Still like the dark of the 20th century, and I love the hearts on the 21st. Everybody's facing... (Read More)
Jack of Hearts
October 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the jack of hearts: 19th, 20th, 21st century Again, this card's face was turned somewhere earlier than the turn of last century. I'm okay with that and went about, just like the others, flipping it back. The color of his hair... (Read More)
Jackalope Facts pt 4
October 5th - via: kickstarter.com
The first documented incident of a run-in with a jackalope was in the early 1800s. It was reported in a bar by a drunken trapper named John MacLeary. When he told of it later he was promptly denounced as a liar, but was given silver coinage by the... (Read More)

Jackalope Facts pt 3
September 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Pioneers did hunt the jackalope for food. They would head out on a full moon night for their hunts; jackalopes, it was assumed, would mistake the moon for the a rising sun and would surely be more active. They would bait their traps with whisky, the... (Read More)
Jackalope Facts
September 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Another well-known “fact” is how well jackalopes mimic human sounds: to a T. Not only human sounds, but sounds of all predators in the area: coyotes, wolves, bears, and, yes, humans. And it isn’t just English! They learned a whole slew of... (Read More)
Queen of Diamonds
September 26th - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the queen of diamonds: 19th, 20th, 21st century. She was turned around, too. I've corrected that. I like the red center in her yellow flower of the 19th century and the lines on her collar from the 20th. I really appreciate... (Read More)
What Do We Know About Jackalopes?
September 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
One of the more elusive creatures of the North American wild, the jackalope remains ever elusive. We know for certain that they liked to follow settlers across the plains and sing along with the camp songs pioneers would sing along the way. They'd... (Read More)
Jack of Diamonds
September 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Three references for the jack of diamonds: 19th, 20th, 21st century designs Looks like another card got flipped around sometime between then and now. Again I flipped it back. I also made the red richer and the blue darker. Hopefully, like the... (Read More)
King of CLubs
September 14th - via: kickstarter.com
References for the king of spades: References: Mid 19th, early 20th, early 21st. I really enjoy the depth of color in the early 20th century image and wanted to apply it to mine. Also enjoyed the scowl on the face of the early 21st century guy.... (Read More)
Queen of Clubs
September 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Moving along, here're my references for the queen of clubs: Three references: Mid-1800s, Modern, Early-1900s (order). This one, just like her jack, got her head turned around somewhere down the line. I turned it back to match the earlier cards.... (Read More)
Jack of Clubs
September 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Let's start this off with the Jack of Clubs. Here are the cards I referenced: Three references: Mid-1800s, Early-1900s, Modern. I don't know when his head got turned around. I turned mine back. I also added clubs designs and jackalopes. Deep... (Read More)
