Simeon Lipman of Cardhacks came up from New York to assist in preparing the shipments to the Contributing Artists.

After Simeon’s arrival in Albany NY, we went immediately to the factory floor where the base card set boxes were printed and die cut.

The Sucklord

We visited the Camelot antique mall in Bennington VT, hunting treasures.  The most interesting was a Wizard of Oz blister pack figure.  Parts of which will appear in a toy near you.

The post photo-shoot wrap.  We did a set of photos of Mary Papers for a special Costume card, to be included in  Suckpax series 2.  Great shoot, got some excellent character shots.

After the camera shoot, we did a pistol shoot.  A .38 revolver, a 9mm slide, and a .22 target pistol.
