Backerkit survey coming with exclusive items for the pre-orders !
over 4 years ago – Sat, Nov 09, 2019 at 01:51:17 AM

Happy to said the printing plates are under production and should be ready soon. The paper from Senses is also on its way, and we received the Foilco foils. Pretty exciting! 

Some of you may receive their Backerkit survey soon, it is what we call a "smoke test" sends randomly to a few of view to see if I do not forget anything. Fell free to comment if you think something is wrong. In about 24 hours, I will then send it to everyone.

You would be able to update your pledge, and also add exclusive items: printing plates and artists proofs! 

PRINTING PLATES

They are the real plate we are going to use for the printing! A must-have if you love one of the designs! 

Be quick if you want one as only one of each is made! It will be reserved for you backers until November 12th, then I will allow other people to access the pre-ordering store.

ARTISTS PROOFS

An artist's proof is an impression of a print taken in the printmaking process to see the current printing state of a plate. Usually, there are 20 of each design with it. You will be able to pre-order them also on backerkit.

OTHER PLAYING CARDS

With Christmas around the corner, you will also be able to order more playing cards with stunning design to get them with your calendar.

So take a look on your mailbox during the week-end to fill your survey! 

Thanks a lot for the support.

Backerkit survey coming soon / The Deluxe edition will be fully in hot foil
over 4 years ago – Sun, Oct 27, 2019 at 07:34:18 PM

Latest update on the project. 

> Backerkit will be sent soon, I hope at the end of next week (when I get the final payment from Kickstarter). If you have trouble with your credit card, please try to resolve it as soon as possible. 

On Backerkit, it will be possible to upgrade your pledge if you finally want a deluxe edition instead of a standard one, for example. It is also there you will enter your information for delivery. 

> I have found a way to do the full hot foil printing of the deluxe edition, even if we do not reach the 200% target. Foilco who produces and supplies the stamping foil wants to support the project, so it lows down the costs. Also, I will produce less quantity than last year. Quality over quantity. 

> Production will start soon ! Printing plates should be done soon and printing will start as soon as Studio Pression and I are ready. 

Here are some of the latest designs if you missed them! 

Project I like : CORONA Playing cards

As you may know, I love playing cards! This Corona deck is designed by Tuyệt Duyệt who design a page in the 2019 edition and produced by BOMBMAGIC INTERNATIONAL CO.

 Last hours to pledge >>

Thanks for your support, impatient to start printing!

244 thank you !

We did it! Thanks to you and 243 other support we reach the target of 158%!

So the calendars will come with the sleeve/stander as we reach the 150% target. Sadly we did not reach the 200% one, which was to get the full hot foil versions of the deluxe edition. BUT, I am trying to found a way to do it, maybe by doing fewer copies of this edition. I am exchanging with Foilco and Studio Pression how to do that I will keep you updated. 

Next step: I will send you soon the Backerkit survey. I work with them for all my latest campaign, which will help you to enter your information and maybe upgrade your reward. 

Check the project detail for all the latest images and updates and I come back to you soon. 

For now, a big big thank you!

Already 82% ! Delivery date is well December... 2019 !
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 10:02:03 PM

First of all, thanks to you and 147 early birds, the calendar is already at 82% funded! I see a lot of you came back after past years edition that makes me so happy. 

Working on the calendar is always a very good time, but it put some confusion in my mind... I feel I am already in 2020! As some of you notice, I put a delivery date of December 2020, but it is, of course, a mistake, the idea is to send it this year! I can not change that, that's why I wanted to tell you. 

Jason Carne Design

When I see this sentence earlier this year, I knew it has to be in this year edition. I am very pleased that Jason Carne can design it... 

See more of Jason work here

Hot foil? Did you say hot foil? 

Tomorrow I will drive to Monaco for a big trade show about printing and paper! There I will meet specialist to open to possibilities of printing! Very exciting! Follow me on Instagram if you want to see some stories about it.

Thanks a lot for your support!
