Ricky Linn’s first version of Royal Seasons playing cards has already been featured on pages of this site. The artist rethought the concept. He is designing new Royal Seasons #2 playing cards dedicated to his interpretation of classic Anglo-French court cards.
Each suit still carries a season theme: Clubs – spring; Hearts – summer; Spade – fall; Diamond – winter. Complete deck to come at the end of 2014.

Royal Seasons #2 Playing Cards: The King of Clubs
This is a Joker playing card executed as the Ace of Spades. It is designed by the American artist, Dave Kramer (Indytoo). It is obvious that his inspiration comes from the DC Comics Universe.

This set of playing cards (just an art project) with an East Indian twist was designed by the American artist, Lucy Aldrich. It’s a pity that court cards of different suits repeat each other.

A bird can represent a number of different ideas and concepts (conjugal happiness, heaven and infinity, etc.) in Indian culture. It’s hard to say what bird is depicted on the Joker. Peacock is one of symbols of India, actually. But it isn’t a peacock on the picture. Let’s assume that it is some parrot. Parrots are a sign of fertility
East Indian Playing Cards: Joker
Here are several ghost style inspired playing cards from the Chilean artist, Victor Hernan Aravena Leal (VictHernAravnLeal). Joker is represented by some demon. Clubs are ideal pips to imitate gravestones of appropriate shape. All royals are skeletons. The Death has forgotten her scythe on the Ace of Clubs.
