First To echo @Rieguy
I don't have a cool story or a place I love, for me philosophy still holds sway, and this subtle and clever nod to superstition and the bright chips suites me just fine. I am inclined to share my journey and thank / tip my hat to those who inspire and came before me.
I was first enthralled with DSQ after I was graciously able to secure @wonderpuddle's sample of his holiday edition of The Tilted Donkey. Rieguy's City of Dawn secured my CSQ need!
I have found that of all the chippers our taste in chips (wonderpuddle) are the most similar, at least to me. I was shocked to find he was the artist of The Tilted Donkey, and really enjoyed his Slim's scrowns.
From there @Himewad was kind enough to loan me his mold and color CPC samples which really helped me home in on what I wanted.
With my previous set, I went for a $25, but developed a $20, brother @Ben8257 helped we with that chip and I'm so glad it found a home with this set.
When I received my Icarus set, I had commissioned a tribute chip, only a barrel but wanted to do more with it, its a fabulous chip! It is cumbersome to work or build into a set because of all the colors.
So that's where I started, when I honed in on it being a $5, the 20 had a great contrast and worked well together.
I think my frac is a bit over level for a frac but it holds its own in the set and doesn't out shine the 5. For this I drew inspiration from @rjdev7's $25 from his Nevada Club set.
I had racked my brain for a label that I would love, and while I had some fun and good ideals, I had some overlap and while I could develop something, I really like the ideal of a black cat, being American and not superstitious, I thought its best taunt for those that are. The artwork, and inscription that @Toby and @Johnny5 were just perfect. Thank you both for letting me ride the epic cat!
The original Hall of Fame set: Black Cat Club Chip DB
Without further ado, the photos!
I also picked up a limited amount of color wheels as a member chip
I hold both in the same esteem!
