Hi there. Long time, no see. I used to have a job that was let's say roughly about 90% downtime and it was just me there. Now I work in a corporate office and the only time I get to exhale is on my lunch break. It's not that my zest for making my cards has diminished, it's just that I have next to no time for it. Well, lately I've put off other things to make time for it. I've had the itch like a crackhead twitching for his fix.
So, for the first in what seems like decades, is a brand new PCb. card. It's a one-off from the 1986 horror Deadly Friend starring a 17 year old Kristy Swanson. I went in for a re-watch and it reminded me of a card I had an idea for long ago. Deadly Friend is infamous for one scene in particular; the one in which Kristy's character explodes Mama Fratelli's head with a basketball. If I knew how to make lenticular cards this would be the first one I'd make, but that's not my lane so I gave it the ol' split screen treatment.
The template of course is the legendary 1986-87 Fleer basketball, famous for having the first mainstream Michael Jordan rookie (along with many other HOFers and legends). This is a template that I wanted to use for quite some time, but it had to be a basketball related card because the design is so synonymous with basketball.
I had funny repurposing the "Fleer Premier" crown to something more Phantom Cardboard-centric. I didn't go too crazy with the card back, just some basic cast info.
