The Castle in the Sky (Silver Lining)

Jack Brutus Penny // 2025

The Castle in the Sky is a limited-edition, full-bleed, deck of art poker playing cards along with a unique display case and gallery-quality art prints. It is the culmination of ten years of artwork adapted onto a new canvas, as we follow the Nenya cats and Coney rabbits as they take to the air. With your help creating and growing this project, I hope to reach for the sky, and bring a piece of it back for you. The Number Cards can be arranged (in an unconventional way) to create a large illustration of a castle floating up in the sky. For Silver Lining Edition, all the artworks on both sides are foiled. The tuck box has an extra color foil: gold.

RAVENS OF ODIN - HUGINN'S VALHALLA

Charmie Dreams the Cat // 2023

In Norse mythology, Odin is not an omniscient god; in fact, he sought for "KNOWLEDGE" and "WISDOM" at all time. He sacrificed an eye in the the Well of Urd for Wisdom and even took the initiative to suffer by hanging himself on the tree for 9 days and 9 nights to reveal the true meaning of runes. His pair of ravens - Huginn and Muninn - did not only act as a messenger bringing information and knowledge to Odin, they were part of Odin.

Huginn's Valhalla Deck:

  • 55 playing cards in premium 330gsm black-core card stock illustrate the 'Dark Valhalla'
  • Dark Raven Foiled Card Back
  • Golden Valhalla Tuck Box - Gold foiled Tuck box features the highly detailed engraving art of Odin and his Ravens.
  • 24 Runes Number Cards - Special designed 24 Raven Runes number cards for cartomancy play.

Legends and stories of heroes, monsters and bizarre happenings were told during these times much like today, and the Samhain deck will explore some of the most curious tales that were said to have occurred during the 'thinning of the veil' between the lands of the living and the dead. Two different decks, Samhain and Imbolc, with unique artwork. The planned eight-deck eventual series will sit together to form one single design when the decks are laid out together. 56 fully custom playing cards designed by the incredibly talented Evgenia Zhade and Alessandra Gagliano Printed on slimline card stock with premium B9 linen finish by Cartamundi Luxury matte tuck boxes with our regular collaborator Boschiero & Newton in a traditional style with metallic foil accents and interior foiling Produced in Italy, cards printed in Belgium and boxes printed in Italy

Imbolc

Jocu Playing Cards // 2022

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jocucollabs/samhain-and-imbolc-wheel-of-the-year-playing-cards-by-jocu/description Imbolc: The Wheel of the Year Back Design by Alessandra Gagliano Character Design by Evgenia Zhade After the hard winter months, Imbolc was a time for renewed birth and energy as the snow melted to give way to new life. Snowdrops began to spring up through the melting frost and livestock once again started to produce milk. For Imbolc we explore the most important goddess of the Celts - Bridgid. Aside from her story, we look to other characters who encapsulate the significance of the holiday as the sun begins to warm the earth again. Two different decks, Samhain and Imbolc, with unique artwork. The planned eight-deck eventual series will sit together to form one single design when the decks are laid out together. 56 fully custom playing cards designed by the incredibly talented Evgenia Zhade and Alessandra Gagliano Printed on slimline card stock with premium B9 linen finish by Cartamundi Luxury matte tuck boxes with our regular collaborator Boschiero & Newton in a traditional style with metallic foil accents and interior foiling Produced in Italy, cards printed in Belgium and boxes printed in Italy

Lughnasadh

Jocu Playing Cards // 2021

The 'Wheel of the Year', the relatively modern amalgamation of the seasonal festivals of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norse peoples, features eight different festivals taking place roughly twice every season, most importantly during the solstices and the mid-points between them.

Lughnasadh (pronounced 'LOO-nuh-suhd') was a festival of particular importance to the Celts but overwhelmingly for those in Ireland where it effectively celebrates the founding of the country, and it is still celebrated in many forms today. It takes place around the time of the grain harvest, grain being a staple food for the Celtic people, and therefore coincides with the height of summer.
