TIM BISKUP (b. 1967, CA), 'Lucky Stack (The)', 2006 (2nd edition) Publ. and distributed by Last Gasp, S.F., CA. Second Printing 2006. Packaged in a brilliantly designed metal carrying case, the Lucky Stack is sure to bless you with good fortune on your next poker night. A casino-quality poker deck of 52 playing cards, plus two jokers. Each card features a different painting on the face.

Dimensions: : 5.3" x 3.6" x 1.1" (tin box). © 2002 - 2006 Tim Biskup. This is a casino quality poker deck of 52 playing cards by artist Tim Biskup. Every card has a terrific reproduction of one of his paintings. The Lucky Stack is sure to bless you with good fortune on your next poker night. Each and every card has a unique face, rendered in Biskup's colorful and whimsical style. Tim Biskup has successfully created a unique and widely recognizable style out of the marriage of comic book illustration, graphic design, and abstractionism. His graphical, multilayered works are precise and colorful while expressing movement and intensity. Biskup's dense, character driven style is inspired by mid-century modern design infused with a healthy dose of punk rock energy. He classifies his style as 'Baroque Modernism' due to its infusion of modernism and ornate, detailed patterns. A main influence of Tim's is Mary Blair, a designer who worked for Walt Disney for 37 years and is best known for her work on the Disney animated films Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Since entering the Lowbrow scene in the late 90's, Tim's artwork has evolved at a break-neck pace. He has extended his aesthetic influence into print, media, clothing and many other arenas while creating works for galleries and maintaining focus as a painter. He's collaborated with artists Mark Ryden and Gary Baseman and organized art auctions and exhibitions. His highly sought after original paintings and sculptures have been shown worldwide, including galleries in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Kyoto and Melbourne.

Verdenskrig, the horrific event that was foretold in all ancient tales. The nations rose up against each other and used all of their power and knowledge to all but annihilate each other. It was so devastating that those who survived it used the name to describe the world that remained. From the ashes arose four factions: "the kingdoms of the heavens" rose straight into the sky. The kingdoms continued to fight each other for dominion of the sky and what remained on the scorched earth. Now, years later, the fighting continues with no end in sight.
