Things are moving... slower than expected, but still...

Hope you are fine and safe. Sorry to have been so quiet on the update front, largely because the production process is mostly a waiting game. But rest assured, things are moving!
Unfortunately, there are delays out of my control and I can not answer the big question of delivery, as I do not know the answer. But if you support my projects in the past, you know that the only thing I can not control is time... In terms of quality, it will be as good as you can expect it. Here comes some details photo I took of the prototypes.
The White edition
And let me introduce you... to the gold edition
I want to present you with a brand new edition. While printing the tuck cases with Studio Pression, we play the "what about this paper" game and we did a very limited set of gold editions. I wanted to keep that secret until they are available, but as I have this timing problem, I want to show them to you now.
These are not for sale YET and won't be until they are in my hands. The reason is simple: I do not know how exactly how many copies of each deck I will have as it will depend on the production.
Thank you so much for your support and patience.

I wish you all the best for 2022... The decks are not ready yet and for varied organization issues on my side and on the side of production too, the new fulfillment date is now March 2022.
I will bring more details when possible and I have some very exciting ones. If you support my projects in the past, you know it is for the good of the final items and I will push it even more than planned.
Your orders are not locked, you will get a message some days before to update your address if needed, so do not worry about this.
The Crossed Keys is my biggest project for 2021 but it is not the only one. Here is my year in review to let you know all that I have done and also thank you so much for your support.
I come back to you with more update on the project very soon. Thanks for your patience.

Printing update / White editions photos / 2022 letterpress calendar

Hope you are fine and safe. Happy to say the printing of all the tuck boxes is now finished. The embossing gave an amazing final touch to each deck. Here come some photos.
The white edition boxes are also printed and I am so happy with the result. The embossing and white and white printing gave them great effects.
The next phase will be to organize all this and to send them to Noir Arts to print the cards and put them in boxes. I will keep you updated.
2022 letterpress calendar
For those who discover my work/world with this project, I wanted to share with you my letterpress calendar I do every year with worldwide creatives. The 11th edition for 2022 is on its final line on Kickstarter.
Thanks for support

Hope you are fine and safe... I hope none of you will complain that I post too many updates!
The process of making an idea coming to life is my favorite part of this adventure... I visit Studio Pression last week to enjoy the printing of the boxes. We also have to make some adjustments while printing, because you can not think of everything on a screen...
Here comes some more photos, and I also did a live video you can see on my Instagram.

Printing update in photos!

Hope you are fine and happy.
I wanted to update you earlier, but the last 10 days have been even crazier than usual. I just moved to the studio where I work for the past 6 years, install it in a new home, went to Paris to met Sting after a private concert in Patheon. If it makes you curious, I invite you to check my Instagram to know more.
At the same time, I get these nice images of the printing process from Studio Pression and wanted to share them with you. Sadly we lost one week on the process because a piece of the machine that made the printing plate broke, and it took 5 days instead of 1 to get it to replace... it seems the delivery service has fun playing with our nerves...
Here is a short but fascinating video on the printing plates making of.
And more photos...
And we are making the white edition too !
More as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot for your support.
