Gemini by Stockholm17 (Lorenzo)

Unread post by chach »



I don't want to stand on any toes, but this was posted to Instagram earlier. To say I'm excited is a major understatement. :ugdance: Looks like we have another winner from Lorenzo. I should just add your name to my bank account so you can make auto withdrawals for everything you put out, mate.

So, why Gemini? in latin it means TWINS and all the courts will have 2 different faces, as I did for the 58th card of Heretic playing cards. A lot of work to do, this is just the beginning The queens will wear awesome jewelry made by @molaxchopa #customPlayingCards #geminiPlayingCards #stockholm17 #gemini #deckOfCards #playingCardArt #cardporn #queen #pokerCards #illustration #graphicDesign #clubs #design

Simply stunning. Beautiful and elegant.

Lorenzo is perhaps the most unappreciated designer in this world nowadays. His cards are at the same level of those that ask $100 for a deck. IMO.
Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow her.

I'm sorry mate, I tried to keep quiet but after seeing it on Instagram I just had to spread the word. Freaking remarkable IMO. Can't wait to see more! :drool:

As always, it can only get better as you tweak it along the way.

"Molax" is an old friend, I have one of her Fire & Brimstone framed uncut tucks she sent when we were first looking at Indomitable Warrior a year or two ago. That's the name she uses in the business, so I won't unmask her, but as far as jewelry design, you could not have found nor picked a better person! She has done some incredible bespoke jewelry!

Wow! This looks to be a great deck. Love how each court tells a little story. I wish to make a deck similar to this.

Normally, I would bitch about a border around the indices, but with his outer cut border being thin, his indices look good. I guess the trend is small suit indices with a big fat suit indicator.

I like his use of cloth and making it seem 3D-ish. Wave that cloth and show some depth. This guy was the master of Warning nudity: cloth and transitions. By transitions, I mean, he could put a foot by someones ear and make it look good.

I am definitely thinking of EPCC for many reasons, one of them is the thin border and I need a perfect registration :)

You mean uncuts aren't a standard pledge for a Lorenzo deck for you? Unfortunately I only have one version of the requiem, $50 was a high price tag, but I have all three heretic, No 17 V1, and a pair of No 17 V2 pledge for.

How about translations?

- Gemelo (Spanish)
- Gemina (Latin)
- Doppelgänger (although this one is a more "evil twin" kind of thing I think)

I saw his deck, standard faces and custom back. Not a real Gemini concept as I am willing to do.
But let´s see if he gets funded on ks first. Long way before I am done tho

I like the softer old-world feel of this one. Reminds me a bit of the Venice Simplon Orient Express deck:

Especially with the background patterning.

Uusi had the same thing happen when they were getting ready to launch "Classic" and Bill/CARC came out with their Classic decks. Now I just have to negotiate a branding fee because everyone is using "UC". ;)

Do like they did and stick to your guns, "Stockholm17 Gemini" works just fine.

Of course, Pintson's deck looks like a Bohemia clone, but not that much. Kinda homely...
