Thanks joeblow - you've all been amazing! :)

I just posted an update announcing that tuck boxes will have interior printing. Having got this far, completing the box feels like a nice way to end:

All the best,

Thanks so much sms69x :)

I'm delighted to end on such a positive note with both decks going to print (and interior tuck box printing!). A huge thanks to all of you for your support, feedback and for being part of the journey to bring these colourful decks to life - it truly means more than I can say!

Final (final) artwork has now been sent to Legends and print proofing will begin once KS funds are cleared (in around 2 weeks).

All the best,
Annette :)

Hello all :)

Surveys went out on 3 days ago and I'm currently waiting on less than 30 to complete, which is fabulous! Thank you to all who responded so quickly, it definitely makes collating information for all you backers easy on me :)

While in pre-production mode, I've also ordered a small test run of the stickers (ace of spades) to make sure they turn out just right.

All the best,
Annette :)

Thanks so much @Bruno and @sashado :)

I haven't updated in a little while, wanting to get things moving along so I'd have some real news for you guys! - so here's a little interim update :)

Physical (paper) proofs are now in production at Legends and are due to arrive within the next few weeks (3-4). Once they arrive, I'll be thrilled to share photos. You can see the digital proofs in my latest update on KS: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... ts/1967417

Backer gifts are produced and I'm super happy with how they turned out - both the buttons and stickers look great :)
Here's a photo of the stickers - (photo of buttons coming soon, it's just a really gloomy day and not great for taking photos...) Most of these will be shipped with the add-on Nine Lives Poker decks to Gambler's (from where they will be sent to backers)...

Image

Waiting on just 3 survey responses, which is fabulous - I'm really impressed with how wonderfully onboard everyone has been in this campaign - Thank you!!

Postcard Print packs and Art Prints are next on the production list - along with of course, the two VIZAĜO decks!

All the best,
Annette :)

Hard proofs have arrived from Legends - and printing will begin very soon!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... ts/1988141

Also, super happy with how the backer gifts (stickers and buttons) turned out - most are packed up and ready to be shipped to GW to be included with rewards.
For anyone interested, a limited number of these will be available on my website (nine lives) - once the campaign is fully delivered.

AND... shipping from printing factory will be by AIR (not sea) - doing everything I can to meet the December delivery time :)

All the best,
Annette :)

THIS is what I like to see from a designer that prints overseas. I greatly appreciate Annette putting her backers/supporter ahead of her bottom line!

Definitely feel we're in good hand with Legends, though I'm more than happy to do what I can to minimise any delays.

It's so exciting that the decks are getting close to completion at Legends printing factory. Latest update on KS includes information about address changes - in preparation for shipping these colourful decks to all amazing backers :)

Hi all,

Latest update on KS is all about getting ready to SHIP these babies :) :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... ts/2034860

So excited to be so close and I really hope you all enjoy your decks when they arrive!
Once the campaign is delivered, I'll have some extra decks available on my website + they will also be available in a few more locations, which I'll update on as well.

Here's a photo of two of the art prints (before signing) - cards from the prototype deck are in the photo for sheer size comparison ;)

All the best,
Annette :)

Well I finally saw a couple of the printed decks first-hand today, and just had to post something here to share my congratulations and compliments to Annette on a successful project, and two absolutely beautiful decks of playing cards!

Both the VIZAĜO Lumina (red) and VIZAĜO Lumino (blue) decks look terrific! Legends Playing Cards has done a wonderful job with the tuck cases and the cards themselves. The colours are vibrant, and really do justice to Annette's gorgeous and unique artwork. I also love the oversized pips, which really ensures that the beautiful "face" patterns in them get the loving treatment they deserve. The indices are also super clear, so it's totally functional and can be used for games as well if desired. And the court cards and card backs are spectacular. This deck is great for collectors and card players, and would make a great gift as well!

Annette is a talented artist, and I am so pleased for her that this project became a reality, and turned out so well. Since it was created by someone who is an artist first of all, the VIZAĜO deck is a unique contribution to the custom playing card industry that really stands out because of stylish, colourful, and artistic look. Congratulations all round, and I'd like to wish Annette the very best for all her future artistic endeavours, and any further custom playing card projects she might create.

We have a lot of new collectors around, so I started remembering artists I haven't seen in awhile and I was reminded of the Vizago decks. If anyone is interested, I checked her website and it is still up and has some of these interesting decks for sale.

That's true, great idea! This is a particularly fun deck as well. There is a certain honest creative brilliance in Annettes work.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.
We can still be friends.
I actually like playing cards.
We live in interesting times.
