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.

Be careful with orders. These guys acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail (in English). But they never answer.
Playing Cards produced by CircusBC (Kuwait).
All Kings, Queens and Jacks are the same. Their back design – ?
The playing cards were designed by Juan Carlos Rojas from AYNI (Lima, Peru) as part of a project for the railroad company PeruRail to sell on board on their trains (their route from Cusco to Machu Pichhu). They might still be available but just on the trains going to Machu Picchu in Cusco, Peru. In case of your interest you should contact AYNI they can have several decks.
Kat Zinn designed this deck over a period of seven years. She decided to diversify this deck and she made a Joker and a Joketress instead of two traditional Jokers. There are also appropriate drawn numbers against the background with big pips on all number cards instead of traditional pips.These playing cards are slightly larger than standard poker size. The deck printed “by the manufacturer of Aviator playing cards”.
PLAYING CARDS + ART = COLLECTING
