Hello,
KICKSTARTER LAUNCH DATE: OCTOBER 14TH - 18:00 GMT - NOW LIVE
I am pleased to announce the launch date for my most recent deck design HIGH FLYERS. For those interested please find the prelaunch page here where you can get notified upon launch...



This luxury deck of cards celebrates the most remarkable birds that fly the highest and the fastest. High Flyers is packed with special features from luxury pearlescent tuck stock, embellished with teal foil and thematic die-cut elements, to fully illustrated court cards and a card back that fans out like a bird's wing.

Some shots of the deck...

Been waiting for these!

Here is a still from my video to show how the die-cut goggles work with the ace of spades...

These look beautiful, great job!

Thank you I really appreciate it. It is finally time to release them into the wild.

The Golden Eagle is one of the fastest birds with a maximum airspeed of 322 km/h (200 mph)

I think these look fantastic! I love the coloring and hope the actual cards look just as good.

Looks really great. Still doing special shipping rates for the UK massive, right?

Hey, yes I will be fulfilling the UK orders myself again. It worked well last time.

I'm sure these will be expensive but I'm also sure they will be worth it.

My wife is a huge bird nerd, and I already love the artwork and overall deck design. So I will most definitely get a few of these!

Decks will launch October 14th - 18:00 GMT

I'm not sure about all the writing on the king but the rest looks really good.

These look excellent. Easy yes for me

Teaser Trailer now available for HIGH FLYERS:

They are good looking cards but I am still stuck on some of my earlier concerns. To me the backs without the yellow feathers would be near perfect!

The Rüppell's Griffon Vulture would not be my
first guess if you asked what bird holds the record for flying
the highest... but this beast can soar an astonishing 11,000
meters above sea level. It has earned its place as the
ultimate High Flying King of Clubs.

Love me a griffon vulture

Looking forward to seeing all the birds in this deck

The Joker features a decorated kestrel hood with a feathered plume.

1 hour till launch - early-bird discounts will be available. 18:00GMT

Campaign video now live on Youtube also.

I think the price points are too high. 17$ usd set as an eb ks price is not for me. If I buy 3 decks, price is kind of ok with an eb price of around 15$ each but around 20$ shipping. I hope the decks fund and you do well but it will be without me. Cool deck and chill attitude, good luck.

I am in for 3 decks. I think they look very nice. Almost funded already which is good.

Wow!

funded in just over an hour. Thank you so much, I'm really over the moon.

Congrats Stacey. Well deserved. Fun design with attention to detail.

P.S.: Consider this post as a petition for high flyers 2 featuring the harpy eagle and the condor .

If we're making requests I'd like a Digital Petroglyphs 2. Can't find a copy of that deck anywhere.

I second this request for a revision.

Digital Petroglyphs all disappeared very quickly. I only have 6 decks left myself. It might be nice to revisit them.That would be Lawrence's decision, as it was a Legend's commissioned deck. I did enjoy making that one.

The Artic Tern's migration is the longest known
migration in the bird world. This bird zigzags between the
poles each year, covering around 55,923 miles. The Arctic
Tern is the Jack of Hearts pilot at the High Flyer's Aviation
Society.
