Black Rock Collective Playing Cards Vol. 2 is another beautiful deck, lovingly created by over 30 artists of the Black Rock Collective.
“The feel, overall brilliantly printed card size and box design are the same as the first deck. As is the varied styles (and nationalities) of the BRC. What IS different about this deck (ingeniously named ‘Version 2’) is the limited palette of classic Black, White and Red. Almost every mix of these three colours artistically designed for your card playing pleasure.” ~ BRC

This Black Rock Collective Playing Cards Vol. 1 deck was lovingly created by 36 artists of the Black Rock Collective.
“A rather crass yet brilliant Australian member had the idea of doing a card deck – a perfect medium to utilise the BRC’s mish mash of styles and techniques. One of the New Zealand members ran with this idea (such is the way down there in the Antipodes) and ‘by crikey’, here it is.
The result of hours of doodling, squabbling, and sanding every card by hand has produced this diverse and beautiful card deck. It feels amazing, and deserves to be fondled as much as possible.” ~ BRC

Gary Baseman is a leader within an international cultural movement that includes both mainstream and underground art. After a career as a top commercial illustrator, creator of Disney’s Teacher’s Pet animated show, and artist for the Cranium board game, he felt he should not be “limited to one world, whether the gallery world, editorial world, or art toy world.” He has now embraced them all with success.
In March 2013, the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles will install a major career retrospective, My Door Is Always Open, that will run for six months. Dark Horse is celebrating with a new range of merchandise, all selected and approved by Gary Baseman.
The fun and zany artwork from his “The Door is Always Open” exhibition is featured on these colorful Gary Baseman The Door is Always Open Playing Cards.
Release Date: April 17, 2013. Pre-order.
