Hi guys, I think some of you already noticed it.

I decided to make a brand for all my decks, Thirdway Industries.
Everything related to my works, past, present and future will be there.
The attached logo will be under all the Evil Decks coming in early 2015, and hopefully on many, many decks I have in my mind

Got a nice little package in the mail today. Thanks Giovanni

Hello UC friends!

During those months I developed a new e-shop for Thirdway Industries - It's improved and much better than the previous one. It's in beta, but it works. So if you want to place an order, you're more welcome

There are 3 offers live on the website (10% off on everything - free shipping over $99 - Free Magnifica over $199).

The site is >>>> http://www.thirdwayindustries.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <<<< Click the little voice "What's new" for know more about the new features.

The old website (http://www.thirdway.it/wordpress/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) will expire in the next days, and the Winter Sales will be over as well. If you wanted a Dedalo Bundle or a Winter Collection, please purchase it now.

I hope you like it - let me know what do you think here on via e-mail (giovanni-at-thirdway.it)

Cheers!

Gio

It looks very nice! "slightly" better than the old one!!

I'm a big fan of Giovanni Meroni's designs and decks!

Since this is an official thread about his work, I figured it would be fitting to post links to a series of two feature articles I have written about Giovanni's range of playing cards:

Ender's Pictorial Review - Part 1: Omnia & Dedalo series & Delirium
Ender's Pictorial Review - Part 2: SINS series of decks

I've gathered some informations on the story of Thirdway Industries and I made a long article on my website > https://www.thirdwayindustries.com/2018 ... ndustries/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are some cool informations, pics and videos (also a super silly series cartoon I've made for promote The Evil Deck). I hope it will be fun to read!
If you have suggestions or advice in something I should include, feel free to tell me (here or > giovanni-at-thirdway.it)

Outstanding Giovanni!

This is a terrific overview of your work, and you've done a wonderful job in putting this together.

It's also a real testament to the scope and beautify of the many custom decks you've produced so far - congratulations and thank you for your great contributions to the playing card industry!

Wow very cool I noticed in the animation for the evil deck advertising that you originally had some different two way court cards, interesting to see!

On the topic of Evil deck obviously you have evolved past the point of releasing the Good deck at this point but I would love to see another deck with custom illustration on all the number cards from you! I think your court illustrations have definitely improved and moved in the right direction and would love to see that evolution shown on the number cards as well. Would obviously be a bit more work I suspect but maybe worth it!

@Enders - Thank you

@Jufin - Yes, the cards in the silly promo are the "old ones". If you want to see more, here you go > https://www.behance.net/gallery/15062259/The-Evil-Deck" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

After Evil Deck, I "vowed" that I will never do something so crazy as Evil/Good deck ... but I can always betray the vow, I think

Don't let your boob critics see that Queen of hearts!

I looked at the Odissea uncut sheets and saw that depending on each version the courts are different. I didn't find an uncut of the N.P.U., which version of the courts are on this deck, or do they look differnet from the other Odisseas aswell?

Hello Shiro! Minerva, Neptune and Mythica courts are all different - Nec Plus Ultra have the same courts of Mythica, just gilded.

Just make sure to check the angled photos of the Eva statues if you plan on buying one, the front view is deceptive, you may or may not be okay with the blimp tits (sorry Gio, you know it's true!). I for one definitely wasn't down for that lol.

haha Yes, that was on purpose, the statue was inspired by my SINS Mentis QoH.

Maybe the translation to 3D was too literal? It works in 2D but no gravity defying breasts of such an oblong watermelon-like shape have likely ever existed in this reality or any other . In the same vein of thought as the statue if you were ever to do another experimental project like that, I can totally imagine a Thirdway chess set one day!

Why was this never promoted here?



I need this mug in my life!

Is that from the Society6 store? Damn that's a lot of mugs! I'm partial to this travel one myself: Now if only I used mugs lol.

Yah, Indeed. Since coffee is a main ingredient of my unhealthy diet (it eases the hunger feelings that I suffer because I'm insane enough to spend most of my budget for cards instead for food), I could really need this mug. Only problem is - it would mean I can buy one or two decks less next month...

Damn you! Damn you for letting me know about this Society 6 shop. There is so much Gio stuff on there. I guess I can wallpaper the cardboard box I will have to live in after buying all these prints I have to buy now. At least they sell an Omnia QoS comforter that can keep me warm.

Dang it! Lorenzo has a bunch of stuff there as well! I'm going to go bankrupt buying thirdway and stockholm17 merch at that website.

Sent from my S10+ using Tapatalk

There's honestly an insane amount of stuff, Stockholm17 bath mat? Check. Thirdway beach towel? Check. Clocks? Check. Even an S17 8'x8' (I don't know how big that is in real measurements) axe of spades wall mural! I'd like to see someone hang that up behind their collection lol.

I plan on getting some of that stuff. I keep getting a pop up of 20% off and free shipping on first order. So I'm thinking of making it a good one. I have sent Gio a message and plan on sending one to Lorenzo if they plan on putting any newer designs on there. Could you imagine having a wall size Order poster or HotRS Joker? Prints of any of the Keymaster Tarot cards? A comforter of one of Gios gorgeous Betrayers/Odissea/Order courts on your bed?

An Order wall mural would very much suit the theme! I already wouldn't say no to the SINS Jack of Hearts comforter there lol (I had to look up what a comforter is, our winters are like your springs). But anything from the Conquerors would be incredible as well, particularly the back design which I adore, on a bed cover or towel.
