Playing Card Art: Playing Cards by Montana Knox
“Inspired by playing cards and magic, I’ve re-imagined, altered and embellished the 16 court characters, scribbling away on a new series of artwork that redefines the stack as warrior-queens, pugnacious prestidigitators, sword-swinging suits and gravity-defying jacks.
Each piece is hand-drawn, carefully inked and finalized in digital color. Check out pics of the process at montanaknox.com. A new card will be released weekly – should be released weekly. (Art is work.)“

Bēhance: Parks and Recreation Playing Cards by Andrea Austoni
This is a custom deck of playing cards designed by the Polish artist Andrea Austoni. He used the characters of one of his favorite TV comedy series – Parks and Recreation (an American comedy television series on the NBC television network). Andrea wanted to pay tribute to the show and to practice his portrait skills, doing something fun in the process. When he realized that the cast featured 8 male and four female characters the idea of the playing cards was born.
In order to echo traditional card designs he chose a two-tone muted color palette and a simplified portrait style. He made the contrast between the elegant colors and the funny characters. © Andrea Austoni
