DeviantART: Catwoman Playing Cards by Anya Uribe
A Mexican artist, Anya Uribe (AnyaUribe), decided to play with a superheroine from DC Comics Univers, Catwoman. She created different appearances for her, and depicted them on a set of playing cards. These are only artworks… creative and funny artworks 🙂
Catwoman is a fictional character from DC Comics Univers. She is nominally a supervillainess, known for having a complex love-hate relationship with Batman. The character was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, partially inspired by Kane’s cousin, Ruth Steel, as well as actress Jean Harlow.

Information for Artists: New CAP Deck by Zeixs [3d Edition]
As I said in one of my previous posts Zeixs organizes artists from different parts of the world for creating a deck of playing cards as a collective art project (CAP). Artists submit their artworks to Zeixs and Zeixs selects final artworks among them for their deck.
Zeixs is working on their third deck of playing cards now (read about their second deck). And they are interested in collaboration with artists. You can contact them.
Good luck, provide them with regards from this blog.

Zeixs (Germany) is the fusion of online and print media – the portal for interactive Books for Designers. It was founded by the publishing house Feierabend Unique Books and the design agency 12ender in 2007. Zeixs is about all forms and fields of graphic design – from typography, illustration and photography to animation and industrial design. Their concept “Submit your works and we will include them in our books which are distributed all over the world”.
So from time to time they organize artists from different parts of the world for creating a deck of playing cards as a collective art project. The process based on their concept and free competition. Artists submit their artworks to Zeixs and Zeixs selects final artworks among them for their deck. Read how to collaborate with them.
The basic idea was to have each of those cards individually designed by an international designer or illustrator in their distinct style. Then the unique ensemble, in which a variety of illustrations in many styles come together to form an interesting compendium, was to be presented in high-quality packaging and sold in a limited editions.
This is the second “52 Aces” deck of playing cards produced by Zeixs. The deck includes 54 different artworks: 52 playing cards + 2 Jokers. Poker size. Playing cards are available in two editions: Deluxe Edition in a special tin and Light Edition in a foil laminated cardboard box. The declared run of each edition: 999 decks.
