EPHEMERA: any items such as tickets or cards that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles.

EPHEMERIDE: French name of a paper calendar that gave you daily information all over the year.

From this idea and my collection of Ephemera over the years, I get the idea of the EPHEMERID playing cards: each card comes with a unique design based of my thousands of hand-letters, invoices, bills, tickets, and photos!

This deck is our take on the familiarity of iconic images from the nostalgic world of retro video games. We were not interested in the literal representation of certain characters or properties, we were simply interested in solving the design problems that occur when you transform familiar images into a different format... courts cards, jokers, pips etc. We found the results very interesting and it was extremely fun designing this deck... while reminiscing!

In accordance with prophecy, Oracle has returned. Based on talking boards and the Spiritualism movement, these playing cards are unparalleled in finish and art.
