And now she has a king...or the king has her.

Marketing Tuesday & Thoughts of the Day:  
While following my dream as an artist, I've been working on this 'Weird Creatures Museum' as a theme. I've also been brainstorming a product line to accompany this theme. I've been thinking of the possibility of designing face cards, perhaps making them more elaborate or non- traditional than the average deck of face cards. So far I've come up with the King and Queen of hearts concept. As far as producing the actual product, that will be a greater challenge. I've been pondering questions like, What type of printing resource should I go with?  Will there be separate set up fees for every different card?, etc. My plan is to come up with a layout for the back of the cards, which of course will have to be the same to maintain suspicion, and then keeping the different numbered suits simple, just like regular face cards, but  coming up with a concept for each King, Queen, and Jack for every suit... which becomes another challenge. This is what makes art and design so much fun.
