These playing card artworks were created by a British artist, Carmen Wong. They are devoted to the 40th Anniversary of a famous English rock band, Pink Floyd. Formed in London, the group was generally recognized in different places of the world due to its progressive and psychedelic music. They became one of the most musically influential groups in the history of popular music.
Four students, Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, founded the band in 1965. They released their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967. Later that year, David Gilmour became the fifth member of the band. Like many other bands Pink Floyd didn’t have constant numerical composition. But all members were kings :).
The band was inducted into the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

The King of Spades
New pack of playing cards from Lotrek (The Halfmoon Playing Cards). The designer of Timeless and Bicycle Butterflies Playing Cards, the creator and producer of Grotesque, Bicycle Venexiana, Venexiana Gold and Venexiana Dark decks decided to pay his attention to a different artistic style that flourished in Europe or influenced European Art. The deck inspired by the incredible splendor of the Byzantine Empire (c.330 A.D – 1453 A.D) and its heritage. Traditional courts will remain their traditional shticks, but will be translated into the Byzantine art style. This deck is one of three decks in the series. It is the most luxurious one: a) amazing custom art; b) its tuck case will be velvet, and you will find hot stamped gold foil inside it; c) all card backs will have both Gold and Silver hot stamped foil on them.
The deck will be printed by Lotrek in Greece.
These playing card artworks were created by a Finnish artist, weirdo-mess (nickname). I guess they are devoted to some kind of demons or satyrs. Don’t be surprised. In accordance with Greek mythology in 6th-century BC, human legs were common for satyrs. They acquired their goat-like aspect through later Roman conflation with Faunus, a half-men, half-goats in Roman mythology. Satyrs became nearly identical with fauns under the influence of Roman mythology. So, satyrs commonly described in Latin literature as having the upper half of a man and the lower half of a goat, with a goat’s tail in place of the Greek tradition of horse-tailed satyrs

Joker
This Queen of Clubs was designed by a British artist, Mark Bell (Galvanise The Dog), as an art print. No indices, quasi-tangible body of the queen with a mysterious face. It’s interesting. You can add white border with indices and you’ll get a nice card for some Collective Art Project (CAP) deck of playing cards.
