Heads up, Loteria Familia! For the first time ever, my Loteria Grande Cards are available for online purchase as SINGLE CARDS. Previously, they were sold online only as sets and now for a very limited time — you can purchase the cards individually online, but ONLY UNTIL MONDAY, AUGUST 7TH at 11:59pm CST. After that, the shop’s purchase window will close and I’ll fulfill all of your orders in one mighty batch.
Each card has a limited print run of only 1000. I expect some of the remaining cards will sell out VERY soon. All of the cards currently available are pictured above, and they include:
• El Pescado (The Fish) — only 60 units remain!
• La Rosa (The Rose) — only 25 units remain!
• El Paraguas (The Umbrella) — only 25 units remain!
• El Nopal (The Cactus)
• La Corona (The Crown)
• La Botella (The Bottle)
• El Arbol (The Tree)
• La Pera (The Pear)
• El Gorrito (The Bonnet)
Some of my cards have already sold out, including:
• La Sirena (The Mermaid)
• El Arpa (The Harp)
• La Luna (The Moon)
• El Corazon (The Heart)
• El Venado (The Deer)
• El Mundo (The World)
• La Escalera (The Ladder)
• La Calavera (The Skull)
Get yours before they’re gone! 🙂 Here’s a brief FAQ on the new sales model.
How many total cards are planned for the series? Do you plan to continue producing new ones?
Yes, I’m definitely working on new ones. There are 54 total cards planned for the series. Some fans don’t feel the need to collect all of the cards but just want the ones that speak to them. Some want them all.
If I already bought your Series One and Series Two sets, which cards do I not have?
‘El Gorrito (The Bonnet)’. Because it’s the newest, I currently have good supply on that one. There’s an online purchase minimum of $10 — so if that’s the only card you want to purchase, you might wait until this fall / winter when I’ll make some new cards available, and you can bundle that one with those. For everyone else, I recommend ordering TODAY so that you’re not disappointed when cards sell out.
Will you reprint the Loteria Grande Cards and create a second printing?
No.
If I want some of the cards that are already sold out, where might I find them?
I’m planning to start a Loteria Facebook Group so that collectors who have the sold-out cards can sell or trade them with collectors who want them. You might also check with George R. R. Martin’s Jean Cocteau Theatre in Santa Fe, NM. I did an appearance there a couple of years ago, and they MIGHT have a few remaining sets of the Series One cards (includes La Sirena, El Pescado, La Rosa, El Arpa, El Paraguas, La Luna, El Corazon, El Venado, El Mundo, La Escalera, La Calavera). Beyond that, check eBay as well.
Why is the order window for the cards only until Monday, August 7th?
I like fulfilling orders in one wave of work so that I’m not packing, shipping, and dealing with the post office day after day. Doing it this way allows me to maintain balance toward drawing, conceiving, and creating more Loteria art. 🙂
Thanks, all. Holler if you have any questions. In Loteria We Trust!
Since I was a child I’ve Loved playing La Lotería! I was fascinated when I just happened to stumble upon your work and I’m so Happy that I did! Your art speaks to me and I hope to collect all cards in the series. I’m hoping to get updates on your newest cards so I won’t miss out on any.
It was a real pleasure speaking to you personally about my question and correcting the error so promptly and courteously. It’s kind of refreshing to see how “hands on” you are about your work and business.
Continued success and God’s speed as you reflect our Mexican-American heritage and culture in such a vibrant and stunning fashion! I hope your art will continue to bring joy to our children and grandchildren and all future generation. What a wonderful legacy you will be leaving.
Apologies for the belated reply, Geri! It’s been an insane month here. ‘Pleasure speaking to you too. And thank you! 🙂
