"Love your art work and I sure have loved my WK's to bit's, and I'm sure I will love the JPC's even more",

"Woohoo I got to see them in real life and they are just totally amazing. Love my decks",
Cilinda Atkins, Hervey Bay, Qld, Australia.
"Thank you Brett for the beautiful cards. Looking at them takes me back to the same sense of wonder I experienced as a very small child staring into another world order as I learned to play poker with Grandma Taylor. These are so beautiful it makes me yearn for the days when I had 20/20 vision and the world seemed fresh and bright in so many ways……"

"Nice work on the new cards, they are very special",

"DAMN - I was wondering when he'd release a new design!! This is from the same artist who created White Knuckle Playing Cards, under the design house name Sea of Pain! It took him the better part of two years to make WKs and it reportedly nearly cost him his sanity. Every single card had a unique design in the pips, so, for example, the heart pips on a four of hearts were slightly different from the heart pips on a nine of hearts or a seven of hearts. In addition, that deck had three-dimensional perspective art for all the court cards, which were made using live art models, mostly friends of his. I knew the moment I saw that back design that it was either the same artist, an homage or a knockoff. Glad to see it's not the latter two! That there are 104 unique designs is pretty mind-blowing - a unique index pip and a unique center-art pip on EACH card is incredible.
The level of work likely exceeds any modern deck, even the hand-painted ones by Elaine Lewis (she typically makes a "print run" of 50 decks of each design). Lee Asher's a big fan of Brett's, as well! WK and now JPC are by far on both our short lists of favorite/best playing cards ever".

"How could I order any less than four? Every one is drop-dead gorgeous. I will be photographing the crap out of them for my Instagram. I'm there under my real name and my user name is orochi_001. My sickness is on near-full display there. Congrats on being a part of such a beautiful project! You two are amazing creators and wonderful people! Please keep doing what you do, love from the other side of the globe",
Josh Tolpa, U.S.A.
"Lovely to be able to buy these beautiful cards. I gave a deck to the man who lend me his copy of Brett's 4th drawing magazine, another to ourselves (they are so handy when travelling) and a deck for another friend. Then had people saying how lovely they are so Christmas presents for a few.
Keep up the great work",
Klara Jones, Sale, Victoria, Australia.
"In the past ten years you've helped to define a popular trend growing around the world. While anyone can make a deck, not everyone can be an artist. You're in a small distinct class my friend, and you can rest easily knowing that playing card history will never forget you",
Lee Asher, world famous cardist and magician, U.S.A.
"Hi Brett, Thank you for sending the decks, they got here earlier than expected. I've been a fan of your designs since the White Knuckle Playing Cards a good few years ago now, and I'm glad you've released these updated back designs and uniquely flavoured suit and individual designs for each card, I always enjoy playing with your cards and find that playing with them adds something to every hand played. I believe that you have certainly acheived what you set out to do, and improved on the standard card deck!"
Clinton Roulston, Yangan, Queensland, Australia
