Several playing cards designed by the American artist, Emily J. Sampson (EJSCreations), as a project. This is a very interesting variation of symmetry in court cards. Such court cards can be nice for transformation decks.
The idea of the project was to design four playing cards on the basis of some fairy- or folk tale. She chose the Russian folk tale “The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship” (“Летучий корабль”).
Some brief description of the story for better understanding of the playing cards you can find here. Or you can see the International Emmy award winning British stop-motion adaptation of this folk tale***
The King of Hearts is the Tsar who had to swallow his pride.

The Australian artist Ken Taylor (The Drawing Book Studios) was commissioned to illustrate a royal flush using original characters of his own creation for Westpac. The company wanted to illustrate the ultimate winning hand, the Royal Flush, to demonstrate the many disciplines of thought used by CEOs to win creatively and financially in business (an idea from creative agency Lavender). Cards represent three archetypal disciplines of thought used by CEOs: the scribe, the judge and the mystic. © 2011 The Drawing Book Studios

Joe DiLeonardo designed these playing cards as an entry for SuperPunch’s James Bond Art Jam, He figured a collector’s edition luxury playing cards seemed like a good idea, with each one of the suits for one of his favorite Bond actors, one of their Bond girls and one of their villains. The cards (project) should have a matte finish on the backgrounds, while the suit, value and art should have a glossy finish.
