Steampunk Poker: San Diego Comic-Con booth #1945

Hey all! This is what I've been working tirelessly on for the last few months: Steampunk Poker! It's a complete artistic redesign of a deck of playing cards, all the way down to the smallest detail.

The cards have all been redesigned to reflect Victorian aesthetics, and the face cards all feature unique Jacks, Queens and Kings according to their respective houses. Hearts feature the adventurous types, Clubs represent everyday working stiffs, Diamonds are the posh aristocrats, and Spades are ornately detailed robots. Of course, all members of these houses have a steampunk twist.

As a special treat, I've designed a handful of deluxe boxes to unveil at Comic-Con and sell online thereafter. The deluxe kits include a deck of cards, 25 hand-crafted Steampunk Poker chips, a decorative insert that displays which hand trumps the other, and other decorative elements wrapped up quite fancily inside a finished wooden collector's case.

The deluxe kit contents:

Visit the Rankinstein booth at #1945. We hope to see you there!
I'll post more details after the convention!

About my abduction...

I can't believe I've been away for so long!!!
I wish to offer Saint Blogulous (the Patron saint of blogs) this humble and crappy image of Judge Dredd as an offering.



And I vow to keep up with this thing more frequently, starting with pages from Codename Hart that I finished last... June. JUNE? REALLY?!

Fairly Odd Puppies gallery

Wow... what's with all the dust, cobwebs and skeletons wearing Dharma Initiative jumpsuits?

OH YEAH! I haven't updated anything in... a long, long time. But it's all for a good reason - I'm busy working on Codename Hart. Out this summer! More details on THAT later.

But first, here's three pieces I put together for our crew (Fairly Oddparents/Tuff Puppy) art gallery at Nickelodeon.


"Justice ful-filled in Twinkstone"





"Warlock of Fudge Mountain"





"What cost, Cupcake?"


Yay, satire!
