From the 2 of Clubs to the Ace of Spades, each card in this deck has been individually designed by one of the 55 selected international artists in his distinct style and technique. \”Using a familiar process whereby I let the materials dictate the piece – \’3 of Diamonds\’ plays with the effects of optical distortion looking at glass or diamond as a metaphor for altered reality.\”– Carne Griffiths/3 of Diamonds \”I got inspired by the meaning behind the 6 of Clubs \’Messenger\’s Card\’ – Let me quote: All 6 of Clubs feel an obligation toward duty and they take their responsibilities seriously. Trouble is, the 6 of Clubs also symbolizes inertia.\”– Tobias van Schneider/6 of Clubs \”My original idea was to represent the seven main energy centers of the body and having each of them represented by a gem. The heart, which is the emblem of the suit I chose, is the main focus of the artwork.\”– Felix LaFlamme/7 of Hearts \”I decided to draw my hands, where the sum of the fingers results in the number nine. To erase some parts of the drawing that I did not like, I used collage with craft paper.\”– Pirceco/9 of Diamonds \”I was looking for a connection between the Jack of Hearts and Jack-o-Lantern characters. In the end it was more fun to draw a devilish Jack-o-Lantern kidnaping the Jack of Hearts, but I haven\’t figured out why, he\’s probably just a bad person.\”– Steve Simpson/Jack of Hearts \”My personal philosophy that I subscribe to in life is that we are all made of love and everything we as humans do in life is motivated by love, sometimes in a romantic sense but more simply just living life passionately and with appreciation.\”– Sara Blake/King of Hearts Enjoy colorful, original artwork from 55 of today\’s leading international illustrators, all in the palm of your hand! 52 poker size playing cards + 2 Jokers.
