Pledge Today to Make the Tacoma Playing Cards a Reality!

Every week in Tacoma, there are dozens of artistic ideas and shows. 

However, the Tacoma Playing Cards has the potential to be one of the best art ideas ever to be presented in Tacoma, IMO, potentially approaching that of the iconic Beautiful Angle or even the Frost Park Chalk Off.

Here is their video:




The artist list is one of the best ever assembled in Tacoma. You can pledge as little as $1.00!

Each pledge level gets a reward. They need to raise $13,000 in 35 days.

Pledge today at the Kickstarter website for the Tacoma Playing Cards.  See also the Tacoma Makes web site.

Here are a few samples:



[BTW, if all of your Facebook "friends" pledged $10 each tomorrow, they would have have enough money to start right away!]

Commentary: Congrats RR! __________ Tacoma Makes Jokers Wild!! We are delighted to announce that the first “Joker” to be memorialized in the inaugural Tacoma Playing Card Deck is WILD BILL JONES!! Dyann Lyon states “On Father's Day I saw the news about your project and fell in love with what you and Maija are up to. After reading about how I could support you I chose to contribute and give Wild the gift of the Joker. So bottom line, it is a gift from me to him and we are supporting your cause in the process. I hope that makes sense. It is an awesome way to support a new business, the city I was born in and we call home, Tacoma, the arts which I love and my dear husband, Wild, all in one neat little package!” This is in the spirit we intend! The jokers are meant to represent positive forces in our communities.. think R.R. Anderson Action Heros.. And Wild Bill Jones fits the bill. One Joker left, who else should be honored in such a way and forever memorialized in this soon to be classic deck???
