Re: Rise and Shine by Jocu x Octofly

A combined age of 100 gives them an average age of < half my age [MURRAY] Maybe I should just say that I am more into classic than modern That's fair 🤣 I always imagine Jocu decks as a kind of tree, all growing out from that initial deck Fillide. Each deck needs to branch off somewhat from previous...

Re: Rise and Shine by Jocu x Octofly

I like the back design too but overall I think I am 'too old' for the deck :| The combined age of the three people behind the project is well over 100, so if you feel too old it misses the point a bit :) Cartoon/street art style certainly doesn't mean for kids! But I get if it doesn't float your pr...

Here is the email I got from Cartamundi, which at this point is worth taking with a pinch of salt as well, but just so you know what we know. I’m sorry it took a while, and thank you for your patience. But besides another setback with the linen finish machine, we have had some internal discussions g...

Re: The Goldsmith by Kevin Cantrell (Cantrell A Priori 001) with TGW

I think every situation is different. For us, it's imperative that ONDA V2 be the same printer as ONDA V1 for consistency, so all other options are a moot point - that project must be printed with Cartamundi and is already in processing. Are you going to get consistency from a new factory with a ne...
