Grotesk Macabre is the evolution of "Grotesque", which was the UC2014 annual deck. Taking this deck as a starting point, I tried to create my own vision of the Underworld. Although a joyful and positive person myself, I had always been attracted to dark themed artwork. I find fascinating how artists throughout the centuries have imagined the world of the dead and how they dealt with the greatest fear of mankind. In Grotesk Macabre I tried to combine the darkest of all themes with the heavy elegance of baroque and the pointy, flamboyant Gothic art.

This self-published medieval styled deck consists of 54 cards including two naughty Jokers, from Patrick Velenza (Deviant Moon) in a style similar to his well received 2008 tarot deck Deviant Moon.  Per direct update from the artist, just 500 were printed (original plan as mentioned via twitter of 777 was reduced in actual printing).  Patrick was also known to include 2 randomly selected transformation cards (out of a confirmed 28 available) which he created that have the same back as the deck with each order.  The deck came shrinkwrapped with the seal on the shrinkwrap with any bonus transformation cards added outside of the tuck in the shipment packaging.
