A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST - JOE RUIZ

My process for these cards began with a distant memory of a trip to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus when I was a child of about 7 years old. I remember much of the circus but was enthralled with Gunther Gable Williams, the Lion Tamer. The way he fearlessly entered the cage with all those big cats left an indelible image on my young mind. The tuck box cover is an homage to that time and experience.

After I let those feelings knock around my noggin for a while, I started by researching vintage circus images online. I have tried to convey the exuberant energy of these old circus performers.

I work 100% digitally using Sketchbook Pro, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and a little bit of 3D imaging. I bounce around between all these mediums to achieve just the right look I’m after. I hope that I have succeeded!

Roll Up! Roll Up! The circus is coming!

FYI - This is Joe's 2nd deck, his first was the Bicycle® Monster.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

All of the artwork has already been pre-approved by USPCC. Some small design elements may be subject to change based on backer feedback and printer recommendations.

Besides being a super backer, I have successfully completed and delivered several of my own campaigns as well as helping & collaborating with other creators.

I really enjoy the process of creating decks with the artists and working with backers to bring the decks to life. I am in a fortunate situation to be able to cover some of the costs of producing the decks but without the help of the Kickstarter community I would not be able to bring all of my projects to life. Creating these decks is a significant investment of time and money and I am grateful for any and all support.

If there are delays or issues they will be communicated and dealt with in an open manner. As always, I appreciate any feedback. You are welcome to reach out to me directly at any time and I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

Thank You! - Will Roya
