Pyrate Trading Cards V


Pew

Recommended Posts

Ahoy ya raucous rabble!!! Count me in!!! Shar.... er, Ransom talked me into it!!!

Just to be clear, are we designin' a tatoo fer Ransom's heinie, or are we just doin' piratey art with a tattoo theme?

;) Let's be leavin' me heinie out of this, shall we! LOL

And as for the theme, it's either screwed, stewed, or tattooed. Pick your choice. But, really, no X-rated stuff.

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

Alrighty mateys, I be just brimmin' wit' questions. But I'll keep it to ones that are pertinent to the task at hand:

* Do the cards have to be the original artwork, or can we do one piece and reproduce it onto 10 cards?

I'm thinkin', bein' as we have one month, and as this is the band's busy season with festivals and all (we have four gigs within one week alone!) and a full 5 days of 10-hour recording sessions at the end of the month, it might be more prudent (heh, I rarely use THAT word...) to put a little more effort into one piece and make ten reproductions, if that's okay for this round.

* What are the dimensions of the cards?

* What kind of card/paper stock shouldst we use, or is that up to the individual?

* and, just out of curiosity, how many participants do we have at the moment?

Karadimos, if you are pitching in, do you have a picture of yourself in pirate garb you can pass along?

I just wanted to get a better feel for who is in this round... So as far as I can tell, the below should be the revised list.

1 Pew

2 Michael

3 Gunpowder Gertie

4 Cap'n Mac

5 Ransom

6 Captain McCool

7 Adam Cyphers

8 Patrick Hand

9 Nigel

10 Karadimos

Which makes it seem to me we have a full compliment of ten for this round! :lol:;)

Karadimos, Pew is organizing this round, private message him for his address when you are ready to send your cards. We generally try to avoid posting real live addresses to avoid getting additional junk mail (or that would seem like the best reason to me).

I posted four pictures up in my gallery 2010. Take your pick. I know the background isn't very piratey...with all the grass and trees and it being my backyard.

I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it.
