Playing cards designed by Katrin Broekmuller. Hand-drawn designs and images have replaced the standard card figures, jokers and aces. There are two editions of the deck: Deluxe – the set includes 2 decks of cards in a customized hard-carton box; Light – in a single box.

A Mexican artist, Anya Uribe (AnyaUribe), decided to play with a superheroine from DC Comics Univers, Catwoman. She created different appearances for her, and depicted them on a set of playing cards. These are only artworks… creative and funny artworks 🙂
Catwoman is a fictional character from DC Comics Univers. She is nominally a supervillainess, known for having a complex love-hate relationship with Batman. The character was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, partially inspired by Kane’s cousin, Ruth Steel, as well as actress Jean Harlow.

As I said in one of my previous posts Zeixs organizes artists from different parts of the world for creating a deck of playing cards as a collective art project (CAP). Artists submit their artworks to Zeixs and Zeixs selects final artworks among them for their deck.
Zeixs is working on their third deck of playing cards now (read about their second deck). And they are interested in collaboration with artists. You can contact them.
Good luck, provide them with regards from this blog.
