HAND-MADE

This entire project spans the time of a few years, which includes overall visual design, calculating figures for card amounts with base and parallel sets, packs, and boxes; designing cards, pack and box sizes, testing, creating artist proofs, and countless hours of drawing the portraits, and even a few that were made, but cut from the series. 

Everything in the set that isn’t printed, is hand-made. All 240 cards were individually assembled the front & back sides, then trimmed by hand, signed, hand numbered, and packed.

We’re all here to live life to the fullest and write our own story to leave a legacy behind. I try to make as much of an impact as I can for the things I love, and for the people I love. Hope you enjoy this project and all of the art that comes along with it! Encourage & support others in positive endeavors.

Tons of love, Bills Mafia! GO BILLS!
