Dupuis is a Canadian illustrator/photographer. As a result of this, his work often starts it’s life as photographs which have then been manipulated/distorted/painted over to create the finished pieces. His playing card wall art is naturally of particular interest to me, and here I will highlight my favourites.

by Parker Greenfield is a really quirky artist who’s paintings can not only be found bursting with bright, vibrant colours, but also black and white, and pastels. These pieces certainly take a break away from the norm as far as playing card wall art is concerned.

by Gabe is a tattoo artist who also does amazing paintings. His speciality is skulls, so it’s little wonder that these pieces depict Day of The Dead imagery. His other pieces are extremely lifelike, so these cards seem to take a break away from the norm for him. I like them :)

Prices start at $79.99 from AllPosters.com and £59.99 from AllPosters.co.uk for a 10.5″ x 13.5″ sized print.

by This type of art consistently reminds me of Americana-style Thanksgivings, Halloweens and Christmases. Which is no wonder, as Dan lives and has his studio on a farm in Burlington, Wisconsin, USA. I always find his art to be very homely and warming. It makes me smile. You’ve probably seen a lot of his work in kitchen shops, or gardening centres. Continue reading

Bicycle Club Tattoo Spread
I love tattoos. Don’t actually HAVE any of my own. But I love them. I just hate pain… Which is why the Bicycle ‘Club Tattoo’ deck of playing cards is perfect for someone like me. I watch ALL the shows. It started with Miami Ink (love Chris Garver) then LA Ink because Kat Von D left and opened up her own shop – and she does the most amazing black and grey portrait tattoos – and now I can’t get enough of Tattoo Nightmares.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, it’s a TV show based in a tattoo shop in Los Angeles, where the 3 tattoo artists – Jasmine, Big Gus and Tommy – basically cover up old, embarrassing or artistically inept tattoos of its’ customers. It’s not actually a ‘real’ shop, it’s just a front for the show, but the artists are real and the tattoos they cover up are very, VERY real….. When I think back to the different tattoos I’ve wanted over the years but my fear wouldn’t permit me to get, I am soooo relieved that I’m not having to go get cover-ups done because there’d be plenty…. Sylvester the Cat being one of them…. :/ But I digress. Back to the review. Continue reading

Ok, I know we’re all adults here (maybe) but I had to pre-empt this review with a warning – these cards are not to everyone’s taste. But they are definitely to mine, especially when you know the story behind their design.
So, you’re still reading….? Good. I shall continue. You may get settled because this is my longest review to date.

CBI Cold Case Playing Cards
The State of Colorado in the USA currently has over 1300 unsolved murders. Quite a scary fact, but the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has found a very novel way of hopefully solving at least some of them…. Continue reading

Pippoglyph Playing Cards Jack of Spades
I am very proud to be the owner of the First Edition of the Pippoglyph deck by Ben Crenshaw, now of Bent Castle Workshops. When my deck was printed in 2004 it was the first time I had ever seen a completely bespoke deck – not only the back but each and every card was designed from scratch. I loved that. This deck excited me and I had to have it. Continue reading
