Dear readers, some of you proposed me to make the address of my blog shorter. I considered your opinion and made the address shorter. Now you can find “Playing Cards + Art = Collecting” blog on:
or
All old links will work automatically with new address as well as with old one. But I am going to make some changes in names of several links on this blog. So do not worry if you can not use an old saved link – just use a search bar and the name of a post (article) to find it.

I will not change too much. But if you can not find some post (article) you can always ask me about it through comments on “About me” page. I will help you to find it.
Thank you for your attention.
Have a nice day… hey, I am not stingy – have a nice night as well 😉

The designer of Timeless deck and Butterfly deck made for RSVP Magic decided to propose people his own project – Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards.
“Venexiana” – this is how the word “Veneziana” is written in the area of Veneto, in northern Italy. It’s familiar but at the same time strange, exactly as Venice itself. Venice is not just a beautiful city. It’s an impossible invention of time.
Inspired by designer’s love for this aged beauty, “Venexiana” recalls the elegance, playfulness and mystery of early 18th century Venice. It’s a completely custom deck, and every element, from pips to courts is entirely designed by Lotrek (the designer and owner of Half Moon Playing Cards). It is planned to be printed by USPCC.

The studio created special playing cards in 2010. In order to celebrate summer vacations and as a gift for their clients and collaborators, they illustrated a poker pack of 52 cards (inspired by the 50’s). This card game is within a series of traditional games (Unplugged collection) that the studio delivers since 2009 to enliven the Augusts’ vacations without relying on technology and electricity.
Illustrators: Guadalupe González, Javier Suárez and Gerard Oró.
