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.

RADIA from Encarded.com

The latest limited edition release from Encarded and a bold new vision in playing cards. Radia is the first modern deck to combine the finest traditional paper stock with a complete coating of metallic foil and the highest quality printed details. By printing an intricate full-bleed design right on the foil, Radia has unparalleled shine and visual dimension, unlike any previous use of foil on a playing card.

Radia is the spiritual successor to the highly-regarded Aurum deck and incorporates the beautiful purple, gold, and pearlescent white found in the Aurum Sovereign and White Gold versions. Radia is packed with incredible detail in the back design, inspired by a 19th century Spanish gold engraving. Housed in a beautiful tuck with pearlescent paper, purple ink, gold foil, embossing and a custom diecut, Radia is the perfect combination of simplicity and complexity. Only 1000 decks were printed, each individually numbered and sealed.

• Limited edition - 1000 decks printed
• Custom faces and brilliant coloring

Over five centuries ago, a man from Milan set his creative juices flowing by creating imaginative portraits of human heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books. He was a court painter for three Holy Roman emperors in Vienna and Prague and, while his conventional work on traditional religious subjects have fallen into oblivion, his portraits of organic human heads were greatly admired by his contemporaries and remain a source of fascination today. Artist, Johnny Whaam, deeply inspired by the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, has created a whimsical and curious deck of cards, composed entirely of original artwork worthy of art critics and card collectors world-wide. Human heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish and books. Can you find the faces in all the court cards? Very unique Bicycle deck!

My project is about storytelling - it's about Alice's continued adventures in Wonderland to be precise. Fairy tales make for a great entertaining medium, and growing up I was fascinated by them. I want to take that same love and passion we all reminisce about and put them into a deck of playing cards - the cards that come from my vision of Wonderland. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's (Charles Dodgson) original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I wanted to take this classic story further, by continuing Alice's Adventures as a young lady who earns the title - "Alice of Wonderland". My deck of playing cards, as well as my main story, has a Steampunk Wonderland theme. I am keeping the traditional de la Rue design style by only illustrating the face cards and keeping the numbered cards basic, but with a hint of Wonderland.

Why Steampunk in Wonderland? The original Wonderland story was written and set in the late 1800's Victorian era. The genre of Steampunk derives from that same era so it ties in nicely with the Wonderland theme. However, my deck of Wonderland playing cards is part of a larger picture, one that tells the story of the continuing adventures of Alice. In this more mature setting, Alice is now a young lady and the world she remembers from Wonderland has changed, everything is now Steampunk - but still Wonderland. The 4 main kingdoms of Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds, rule Wonderland. I am including Alice, the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the White Rabbit as the Joker playing cards illustrated in full pose and in the same black and white line art as the royal face cards.
