Valentina Badeanu is a Romanian artist. She had the opportunity to create some exclusive decks of cards for Ellusionist this summer. This ace of spades was part of a marine themed deck that never saw the light of day.
But her back design for Ellusionist‘s upcoming (mid-November 2014) Absinthe Playing Cards was approved (see below).

Ricky Linn’s first version of Royal Seasons playing cards has already been featured on pages of this site. The artist rethought the concept. He is designing new Royal Seasons #2 playing cards dedicated to his interpretation of classic Anglo-French court cards.
Each suit still carries a season theme: Clubs – spring; Hearts – summer; Spade – fall; Diamond – winter. Complete deck to come at the end of 2014.

Royal Seasons #2 Playing Cards: The King of Clubs
This is a Joker playing card executed as the Ace of Spades. It is designed by the American artist, Dave Kramer (Indytoo). It is obvious that his inspiration comes from the DC Comics Universe.
