The Inspiration for this project has been an interesting one. So many of my decks in the past have centered around a theme or a specific moment in History. Because of this, I have always had historical characters to feature in my decks depending on the theme.

For this project, the beginnings were a little bit different. Many times between projects I will spend a few days just gathering reference and pouring over tons of beautiful images of art and other things that I might find inspiration from.

As I was searching for a creative direction for a new project, a song began to play on my playlist that really caught my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all types of music but when I am working I seem to find the most focus listening to instrumental music from cinema, games, and other types of media.

This song captivated me, and it was the catalyst for the entire project. I put it on repeat and listened to it to all day while creating a completely new set of court cards from the images of, what I would describe as a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The designs that transpired over the course of the day were promising to me, and most of very different from any of my previous work.

The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that sparked it, Invocation.

The Copper Editions will be printed by The United States Playing Card Company on Premium Stock with Air Cushioned Finish. The cards and artwork will feature brilliant Copper metallic inks.

The tuck box will be printed by Clover St Press featuring hot foil stamped with Copper and Black Foil. Embossed to enhance the look and feel of the tuck case.

Black Reserve Note - Green Edition Only 790 Produce

Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/305-absinthe/ Absinthe - the Green Fairy of spirits, has long been associated with the bohemian lifestyle, with famous drinkers including Picasso, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and Toulouse-Lautrec. These cards embody the allure of the emerald drink, the hallucinogenic haze, sugar crystals in the night, the Ace of Spades modelled after the filigree of the absinthe spoon. With its heavy embossing and text that pokes fun at itself, even the box appears to have had a few drinks. Originally printed for the Prohibition Box Set, the Absinthe Version 2 deck has been tweaked slightly to keep the integrity in design, whilst also allowing you to own more than one deck, without having to buy multiple Prohibition sets. This deck is too cool for display, it has to be shown off...

Born from the wild forests, rolling hills, and snow-capped mountains of Northern California, Antler Playing Cards embody the majestic beauty of the great outdoors.

The Tobacco Brown back design features two Twin Bucks enshrined within beautiful flourishes that mimic the lush forest of Yosemite National Park. The Ace of Spades features a noble Buck with herbaceous ornamentation crowning his dignified antlers, and each Joker offers the Antler name. The tuck case is letterpress printed on premium craft paper with foil accents and sculptural embossing.

Each deck handles beautifully, but we encourage you to embrace them as much for their superb handling as for the sense of adventure that they inspire. These are as perfect for formal performance as they are for an evening enjoyed around the campfire.

Precisely printed by The United States Playing Card Company with Dan and Dave's trademark thin stock, and a premium finish for superior handling.

Welcome one, welcome all. To the city that never sleeps, the city of thousands of lights and millions of fates, the place of endless thrill and bottomless pockets, the fabulous Las Vegas. Let us dazzle you by the new deck inspired by its luxurious world. The designer Alba Zapata invites you into the decadent realm of fancy cocktails, smoky rooms, and sultry jazz music. Welcome to Sin City.

The atmosphere of the shiny city that comes alive by night is obvious right from the box. The premium black paper with a matte finish and hot-stamped gold and red foil patterns evoke a starry evening, the perfect time to head out into the streets and let yourself get lost in the whirlwind of bars and casinos.

The front of the box features large red letters saying “Sin City” placed in the middle of a golden diamond, while the back and the sides are completely covered in a symmetrical design, which is repeated throughout the whole deck.

In Vegas, the inside of the locales is just as blinding as the outside. The Sin City follows the same philosophy, as the inside of the box is adorned with intricate art-deco patterns with Gold Foil.

Following the design of the box, the backs of the cards boast a red-and-gold pattern similar to the one from the top of the box, made up of two adjoining roulette wheels lined by diamonds, martini glasses, and other quintessential Las Vegas elements.

The roulette wheels form the number 8, which is a reference to 888, the angel number. The sides of the cards express the main message “welcome to the show”.

Las Vegas is not only a place of endless pleasure but also the melting pot of all kinds of people. The court cards offer a peek through the looking glass into the types of characters you can encounter in Sin City.

There are cowboys ready to ride into the night, magicians prepared to charm you out of your wits, femme fatales singing sweet melodies on the stage, while stern-faced men rub shoulder at the roulette table and smoke cigars.

If you look carefully enough, you might even catch a sight of a contortionist with her snake, or get your fortune foretold by the mysterious prophet sitting in the corner. However, make sure to stay away from the intoxicated gentleman at the bar, he is definitely not good company.

The designer drew these all of these characters in a lovely geometrical style, which surprises with many hidden details. Each of the court cards has an indication of the suit in two corners, each of the shapes filled in with an elegant pattern.

Unlike the rest of the deck, the number cards are designed in a simple way on a white background, which provides a crisp contrast to the busy details of the other cards. While the style is classic, the rendition of the suits is following the overall style of the deck.

Upon close inspection, the red hearts and diamonds, as well as the black clubs and spades reveal intricate details, much like the suits on the court cards.

The ace of spades is proudly dominated by a stylized spade with a lovely red rose detail in the middle. It is encircled by golden leaves, just like the ones that used to make up the crowns of Roman Emperors. At the very top of the card is a golden ribbon with black lettering letting you know, that you have officially entered the Sin City.

The Jokers are very special cards due to their use of the notoriously well-known road sign announcing: “Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas”.

While paying homage to this nostalgic symbol, the designer made sure to give it his/her own twist. In the corners of the cards, you can find a golden dollar sign instead of the usual “Joker”.

So what are you waiting for? Open the golden gate to Sin City. Just be careful not to lose your head as the dice are rolled and the roulette wheel starts turning.
