Gorilla Deck

[sprouts1115]

daveEdgerly - Sounds like we need to see a side by side view of lines and no lines. I thought lines define it as a court card. The back looks better. It looks like a bike. Your AoS looks nice. What does "Gorilla 189" mean?

[Eoghann]

Well if he's gorillafying rider backs, wouldn't it make sense to keep everything except certain elements the same as them? Like the court outline?

I like monkeys.

Who DOESN'T like monkeys?

OK, sorry to be "that guy"... but Gorillas are NOT monkeys! They are Apes!

On a more serious note... @ Dave: What is up with the Edgar Allan Poe Playing Cards?

Your update said that you guys received the cards May 7, but so far i haven't heard of anyone receiving their decks yet...

What gives?

I'll be a little more interested in your next deck when i get the first one i pledged for.
And for that matter, you still need to deliver on the Dia de los Muertos decks as well!

[daveEdgerly]

The numbers are significant in their symbolism. They mean new beginnings and good fortune. I can do a side by side of the court cards, but I will probably keep the frames.
I have put a call into the guys that I did the Poe deck with to try and find out what is taking so long. I know that the USPCC is backed up with orders and aren't very fast with their turnarounds to begin with. I hope that backers start getting their decks for Poe soon. My part of the deal was to be the artist on the project, and fulfilled my end of the deal months ago. I know that I am still responsible for you guys getting your decks, and I assure you that you will.
The cards designs for the Dia de los Muertos Decks were finished weeks ago and we are waiting final approval by the USPCC. That should happen this week. Once again we are waiting on the USPCC. All of the other add ons have been ordered. The cards will take probably 4 to 6 weeks to print. All of the fulfillment will be handled by my partners at Edgy Brothers. My end of the job has been fulfilled.
I'm working on this Gorilla Deck to stay sharp as an artist in between my next project with Edgy Brothers. I was approached by a group to do this new deck and really liked the idea. To that end, in between Edgy Brothers projects, I am always open to doing the art for other decks as long as I like the concept and can agree to terms with the project managers.
The Gorilla deck will be printed by EPCC. They have assured us that they can turnaround the decks in 30 days or less. They also provide embellishments such as embossing and foil at a much lower price than the USPCC and still print high quality decks.
I'm really sorry that the Poe Decks are taking so long to ship and as soon as I get some answers, I will pass them on to you guys. I'm not trying to pass on responsibility for fulfilling
your pledges, and I assure you that I will get some answers as to why. I wasn't aware that no one had received their decks for Poe and am alarmed to hear it. I'm sure that there is a good reason as to why and will let you know as soon as I do.

[daveEdgerly]

Just a quick update, I spoke to James from the Poe Deck campaign, and he told me that they are shipping out decks daily, and have been for some time. He said that the decks look great and to thank you for your patience. I'm sure that you should have your decks and add ons soon. Thanks for your patience and support.

Oh you! While you have a point, anybody that likes monkeys will also like chimps and apes. They all are fun!

I guess you don't know the "I Like Monkeys" joke (may offend somebody I'm sure) as that's where I was going with that specific wording.


Can't wait to see more about this deck though.

[daveEdgerly]

Here is a mock up of the tuck case.

[Becky C]

These are fantastic!! Though I do have to say that I would probably pledge just because of the company name Spicy Pickle Creative. I look forward to seeing more.

[daveEdgerly]

here is the design for the pips. each suit will have a different gorilla face. the aces will reflect this.

Yup, these are awesome. Thanks. I really like the different face for each suit and something to spice up the number cards.

So when/where do I get to send you cash money so I can get some of these???

[daveEdgerly]

we have a meeting with EPCC today to hopefully finalize some specifics, and then we will be launching on kickstarter as soon as we get approved. probably in the next few days. we are going to run a shorter than usual campaign (probably 21 - 25 days) and are considering adding a red version of the deck as well if the backers are interested.

[daveEdgerly]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but we have officially launched!
