As an Artist, I have been working in Fine Art Giclée Prints since the very beginnings of the medium. In fact, I was one of the first to explore this area back when an inkjet printer and the price of your Lamborghini were the same!
Those were the heady days of the IRIS Inkjet printers... and yes my friends, we have come a long long way.
With all that history in mind, and so many wonderful prints made, I am particularly proud to offer to our backers a very special rendition of “Sorcery”, the hauntingly beautiful card back art of MERLIN • Illuminations.
MERLIN • Illuminations | Sorcery | Fine Art Print
Our Merlin Fine Art Print is a large DIN A2 size (approx 17” x 22”).
Printed on bright, high quality stock, and with exceptional ink coverage, “Sorcery” will look great on your wall, whether framed or unframed.
MERLIN • Illuminations | Sorcery | Fine Art Print
For collectors of rare Art prints, we are also offering an extremely limited version of seven prints of “Sorcery” on the very finest cotton paper, complete with signature, embossed with my studio seal, and with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity).
Both prints will be professionally handled and shipped directly to you in a very sturdy cardboard tube.
Pricing for the prints are as follows :
TheMerlin Fine Art Print is CHF 45.-
TheMerlin Fine Art Print Limited Edition Print is CHF 175.-
Shipping USA will be CHF 12.-
Shipping Europe will be CHF 18.-

No matter which print you choose, we are certain that you and your wall will be thoroughly enchanted by this work of pure Sorcery!
Finally, here's a wonderful project that we would like to share with you:
Mystic Dragon Games presents The Moebius Deck of Wonders

The case features an awesome magnetic clasp, and is precision made throughout. It’s finely sanded smooth and then expertly finished in oil.
Featured on the front is the Merlin Medaillon, three inches of bi-metal magnificence. It is permanently epoxied into it’s precision engraved position on the case.

This is the perfect add-on for a single precious MERLIN • Illuminations deck, and a gift extraordinaire!
And one more thing… (I’ve heard that somewhere before!). From time to time we like to share with you the work of another creator here on Kickstarter, friends we have met in the creator space. Please have a look - these dice are just awesome!
Vulcan, the world's First Forged Carbon RPG Dice - Ending Soon!
Don't miss your chance to get a set of the first ever Forged Carbon Polyhedral RPG dice! Vulcan Dice are handmade by us at Future Forge for the enthusiast gamer and dice collector. Our Medallion Dice box is also the perfect compliment to your new set of dice.
One of the features of MERLIN • Illuminations are the four Aces. Merlin, of course, is the Ace of Spades, which takes pride of placement in any deck. The other three Aces are all based on key elements of the Legends, and The Sword in the Stone is certainly one of these. It’s featured as the Ace of Hearts, which is the suit of Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot.
It’s very special being a creator here, one of the best parts is getting to point out some of the other cool creators we discover and then share them with you… so here’s a little shout out, a couple of cool projects we love.
The 5-cent Tarot by Madam Clara

Printed with the premium quality by USPCC available in standard and Blue Gilded Edition. Check out the campaign click here! you will love the details of this deck.
Uncut Sheets for MERLIN • Illuminations!
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 07:16:16 PM
Many of our serious playing card collectors here have asked us to provide them with MERLIN • Illuminations Uncut Sheets.
So today we are thrilled to announce that we are doing just that!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with these, Uncut Sheets are the actual printed cards from USPCC. They are taken “straight off the press”, hand checked for accuracy and quality, and then… nothing! Which means they are not sent to the cutting guillotine… but are left as a complete sheet of cards. This is why many collectors buy two, to display together on the wall, so one can admire both the front side of the deck and the back.
For US backers one Uncut Sheet is USD 30. International backers should add USD 45 for each sheet.
The MERLIN • Illuminations Uncut Sheet will be sent to you professionally rolled up in a tube to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition. We are not offering framed versions of the Uncut Sheets as they are too expensive to ship.
Order a pair now, they are going to look incredible!
From time-to-time we like to share the work of one of our colleagues - and this time it’s Butterfly Cards. These cards combine the highest manufacturing quality with the pinnacle of luxurious design. They were funded in 7 minutes! See why people are crazy about them and get yours now. Great campaign Ondrej!
For those of you who have posted MERLIN • Illuminations on their social media, a big thanks! It’s really working!
It’s been a great start and we are so excited to get these cards printed and in your hands!
Kind regards,
Dent-de-Lion and Soleil
