I\u2019m pleased to see my 2013 John Picacio Calendar Kickstarter<\/a> doing well so far. If you look at that page, you\u2019ll see the $2000 pledge level is called the \u201cArt Muse\u201d level. I\u2019ve received a number of inquiries about this, so I want to address what $2000 gets you because I\u2019m very excited about this.<\/span>

<\/span>In addition to calendars, prints, original art and other goodies, you receive a very unique opportunity \u2014 the chance to model for an upcoming published illustrated artwork created by me. This original new illustrated artwork will be inspired by photographs of you, or the person of your choice. The opportunity includes exclusive initial consultation with me, and it\u2019s a very rare opportunity to not only be a part of the making of a piece of published art, but to immortalize yourself (or someone you love) as a piece of artwork for all to see.<\/span>

So what are the artworks in question?<\/span>

In 2013, Lone Boy<\/a> will be publishing a bold new Loteria card deck and game featuring my artwork \u2014 and you can become a part of one of these 54 cards<\/i>.<\/span>

I\u2019m planning to make this Loteria deck one of the finest works of my career to date, and I\u2019ve already started creating the cards.<\/span>

For reference, here are what the classic, traditional Loteria cards look like for \u201cLa Sirena\u201d (The Mermaid), \u201cLa Rosa\u201d (The Rose), and \u201cEl Pescado\u201d (The Fish).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And now for comparison, have a look at my completed pencils for my new versions of \u201cLa Sirena\u201d and \u201cEl Pescado\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

If you would like to become a part of this opportunity, here\u2019s the list of Loteria cards that you can consider immortalizing yourself as:<\/p>\n
