25 pack Island Dreams 3 break

[aggie4ever]

I loved the set last year, so I made sure to keep track of this year's set. You can't beat helping out a great charity and getting a bunch of great sketch cards in return!

I also got 2 music CD's, so a little bit of everything. This was a blast to open, and the treasure coins are very cool. The 2 coins that I can make out the dates are Dutch East Indies 1 cent pieces from 1839 and 1840. Hopefully I can figure out some of the other coins, especially the one that looks like it might be silver.

Yeah, Island Dreams has been one of my favorite sets each of the last 2 years. Like you, the sketches by Small, Rorie, Elfie, and Anderson were some of my favorites. But I also like seeing work from artists who don't normally do sketch cards, and you never know what you're going to get. The Darth Vader at the beach is hilarious, and a lot of the sketches of animals are top notch.

Prior to this, I had only hit a single Small sketch, so I was very happy to pull 3 from this set, and they were all great. I also think this may have been my first time to pull sketches by Van Der Draaij and Amy Fletcher, and both of those sketches were great as well.

For this set specifically, they were sold on the company's own website (but sold out a month ago):

Island Dreams (http://www.holylands.com/Island_Dreams.html)

I learned about the set last year from posts on Scoundrel Art, and have been following their facebook page, so I knew about this year's set as well as their first non-charity set (Moonshine Missies). I think they will be coming out with their next set in the spring, and it sounds like it will be a New Orleans / Mardi Gras theme. A bunch of the small companies who put out their own sketch sets post info on Scoundrel Art, here's a link to that website:

Scoundrel Art Community - Card Companies (http://www.scoundrelpublishing.com/spart2/viewforum.php?f=149&sid=ed8445a0616f11265ff64efdc390dfd6)

Blowout is also a good source for information on several sketch products. Viceroy Cards does almost all of their posting here, and they have 2 upcoming products coming out this month and next month (Insectae and The Deep). And I see this morning someone posted about BOO's next set, Kinky Clown Girls.

Nice product! Love the treasure coins, I have 2 silver Mexican pieces of 8 from the 1700s that were recovered off of the coast of Nova Scotia from the wreck of the L'Auguste.

Will have to check the bay for some of these...

Nice break Aggie! yeah, loved this set last year and looks fun again this year. Love the new coin cards too, bit different than last year's.
