Pan Am Playing Cards (project) were designed by the American artist Lisa Lam. Playing cards are dedicated to Pan American World Airways (commonly known as Pan Am). It was the largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991 (was sold to Delta Air Lines).
“When the assignment was handed down to create a design-driven deck of cards, I didn’t have to think twice about choosing Pan Am as my theme. Pan Am is a pop icon on the rise. It isn’t popular enough where a current high school student can identify the brand, but the potential to use it as a hip and visually appealing subject was all there.” ~ Lisa Lam © 2013 Lisa Lam

This Joker was designed by the Greek artist, Dimitrios Kyriazis. Such a strange combination of the Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the “V”, a Guy Fawkes-masked vigilante from James McTeigue’s V for Vendetta.

“Inspired by playing cards and magic, I’ve re-imagined, altered and embellished the 16 court characters, scribbling away on a new series of artwork that redefines the stack as warrior-queens, pugnacious prestidigitators, sword-swinging suits and gravity-defying jacks.
Each piece is hand-drawn, carefully inked and finalized in digital color. Check out pics of the process at montanaknox.com. A new card will be released weekly – should be released weekly. (Art is work.)“
