The designer of Fantastique Playing Cards, Sveta Dorosheva (Israel), was commissioned to draw reinterpretation of several Tarot cards. She designed several cards, including this Fool. The Fool can be a nice Joker for classic playing cards, actually. Enjoy these intricate artworks… black and white or coloured.
Artworks weren’t used for cards. They were used for packaging and label.

Joker (Fool) – Black & White
These Aboriginal playing cards (art project) were designed by the Australian artist, Kerstin Loop. They are dedicated to some typical life forms of Australia. Kerstin’s approach to small pips on number cards is really interesting. Different sizes and designs of these pips let achieve additional artistic effect.

Aboriginal Playing Cards: The Ace of Spades
The Australian artist, Deena Verawati (d-verawati), decided to create a playing card design dedicated to Janelle Monáe. Janelle Monáe Robinson is an American psychedelic soul and R&B singer-songwriter, composer, and record producer signed to Wondaland Art Society, Bad Boy Records and Atlantic Records. The name of this girl predetermined the court card for her image.

Absinthe Playing Cards: Tuck Case
Valentina Badeanu is a Romanian artist. She had the opportunity to create some exclusive decks of cards for Ellusionist this summer. This ace of spades was part of a marine themed deck that never saw the light of day.
But her back design for Ellusionist‘s upcoming (mid-November 2014) Absinthe Playing Cards was approved (see below).
