Jared Nickerson started this deck as a client based playing card project but once he realized the scope of the work he decided to bring a few other artists on board. Finally this deck was designed by Jared Nickerson, Cuypi, ZombieCorp and Niark.
This project was started in 2009 and is still in production. No word yet on when these will become available to purchase.
