Playing Arts: Digital Abstracts is Preparing a New Playing Card Project

18 Nov

Digital Abstracts (Barcelona, Spain) is an online platform which provides readers with a blend of design oriented content since 2000. They handpick and thoroughly edit their publications to deliver creativity and innovation through news, current trends, products, professional opinions, interviews, etc.

They managed their first playing card project in 2012. They gathered 54 different international artists under one “roof”. Each artist had to design one of the 54 cards in their distinct style and technique. As the result of their appropriate efforts, 54 different artworks were turned into playing cards and packed in one tuck case – Collective Art Project (CAP) deck, “Creative Cards”, was produced.

Their new playing card project was named “Playing Arts”. It was successfully funded on Kickstarter (November 10, 2013). The new appealing name, but the old tested approach. And DA did it again. “Playing Arts” CAP deck #1 was produced and delivered to its backers.

You can find Playing Arts #1 deck HERE

Important Information for Artists and Designers

16 Jul

Dear artists and designers, you could notice the special banner in the right upper corner of the sidebar regarding playing card art requests. It was connected with the art request of Zeixs.

Now I am happy to announce that it is and will be connected with a special page dedicated to playing card art requests of different companies, organizations and independent projects. I hope it will be useful for both parts of such collaborations.

Information for Artists: New CAP Deck by Zeixs [3d Edition]

02 May

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.
