OMG. I haven't been around much but was concerned when I saw many people using the J5 Design as their avatars. With some searching I came across the sad news. I have worked with John on various projects going back to 2011. I'm a little sad I don't have his logo imbedded in my artwork. But his final design work was sent to me 9/25/2013. My hotstamp project drifted for many years but finally came to fruition when @ekricket stamped my grail set. I dropped the chips off at his Angel Fire meetup in fall 2021 and he delivered them 10 months later at Degen in Dallas II in Aug 2022. I think John would have been happy to know that his design work and the subsequent production was facilitated by two separate meetups.
Thank you, that's what we were going for It's the only set of chips that my wife and I designed together so it has alot of meaning. I have alot of hope for Mike at CPC so this set can come to life.
