Hey all, I'm Dennis, a good friend of Kevin's. I know he's slammed with end of year stuff so I figured it would be ok if I post this. I'm running a Kickstarter project where I'm building a deck of steampunk playing cards featuring some of the goggles available on my website. You can see the project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/consorte/steampunk-goggles-playing-cards-deck-uspcc-bicycle
If anyone's feeling adventurous besides picking up a deck or two (and some goggles), we've still got spots open for someone's likeness on the Jack of Diamonds, King of Diamonds and Jack of Clubs. It would be stellar to have a pic of one of the members of Pipes Magazine smoking their favorite pipe on the facecard of the King of Diamonds.
Here's the description of that card:
King of Diamonds - The Baron: Wearing Riveted Silver Filigree Goggles - The name of his game is indulgance, especially food. Fine cuisine is the universal language and what better way to form alliances with heads of state than dazzling their palates? His goggles are the color of a tempting red wine and most likely a family heirloom.
He's wearing these goggles: http://www.steampunkgoggles.com/product/riveted-silver-filigree-steampunk-goggles-ddg003/
Here's a taste of what our artwork looks like (fully hand-illustrated in the spirit of steampunk):

I'd love to talk about the campaign on here if you guys have feedback.
(Kevin: if I overstepped any boundaries just delete the thread)

Those cards look great - and I've enjoyed looking at your goggles, too, ever since Kevin pointed them out to us a few months back. I'll definitely be checking out your Kickstarter, and I may be in the market for a new pair of goggles, too, as I keep breaking the loupe off of my home made set... :oops:
