The playing cards03 / Physical deck

The illustrated Cardano world, shuffled into a deck you could hold.

Artwork from the portrait collections was adapted for the four suits, court cards, jokers, back design and box. Romy led research, art direction and production; original artwork by Dotstruction Studios. The physical deck was made in an edition of 100 packs, all sold. This is an archive of the photographed object and supplied card designs, not a current sale.
