Several aces were designed by a Ukrainian artist, Bohdan. These remind more posters, but they can be easily used as big ornate pips for aces. At the same time, it’s necessary to admit some strange combination of design elements: stardust, all pips (small) on each ace, floral embellishments, strips; money and gambling symbols on the Ace of Spades. Some casino can use these for its deck dedicated to New Year’s Eve celebrations.

The Ace of Spades
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).

The Ace of Spades designed by the American artist Jason Brooks. The image was inspired by classic pin-up playing cards of the Mad Men era 1950’s and early 60’s.

Gothic aces designed by the Brithish artist, Scott Burdett. Back looks like Gothic one. But do you think Aces are also Gothic?
