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.

AISM Playing Cards: Jokers
The director of New Product Development at Murphy’s Magic Supplies*, Jason Brumbalow, decided to create his own series of playing cards which should be interesting for magicians, cardists and playing card collectors.
Inspired by Stranger & Stranger (their style), the Canadian artist, Mike Clarke, created this tuck case for upcoming Ellusionist‘s new deck – Absinthe Playing Cards (this won’t be a CAP Deck).

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).
