These a little bit crazy but symmetrical playing cards were designed by the American artist, Adam Mordecai, and are dedicated to Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. This theme is quite popular for playing cards. These are a working project, so they can be produced some day… in colour.

Alice in Wonderland Playing Cards: Spades
“Kickstarter: Delirium Playing Cards by Thirdway Industries” is updated.
Signature Edition of Delirium Playing Cards is available.
These are several playing cards designed by the American artist, Tom Whalen, as posters dedicated to different monsters in cinema.
The Queen of Spades is represented by the Queen from the Alien(s) franchise. The franchise was started by the eponymous science-fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott (1974). The film tells the story about a highly aggressive extraterrestrial creature that stalks and kills the crew of a spaceship. The Alien and its accompanying elements were designed by Swiss surrealist artist H. R. Giger. This film got such a high success that it gave birth to the series of sequels.
The second film in the series was Aliens (1986). It was directed by James Cameron and was focused more on action. With the help of marines, the main heroine of the series, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), confronts hordes of Aliens on a planetoid. Aliens was the first film in this series which represented the Queen of Aliens.

The Queen of Spades – The Queen of Aliens
Meet several playing cards designed by the American artist, freakonaleash605 (nickname), for one of her classes. She decided to do a tribal wolf theme. Cards need some serious improvement but the overall style and idea are interesting.

The King of Spades
The designer of Fantastique Playing Cards, Sveta Dorosheva (Israel), was commissioned to draw reinterpretation of several Tarot cards. She designed several cards, including this Fool. The Fool can be a nice Joker for classic playing cards, actually. Enjoy these intricate artworks… black and white or coloured.
Artworks weren’t used for cards. They were used for packaging and label.
