Marianne Larsen should be a familiar name from her work with Design Imperator. Now she has her own company, Isolated Thunderstorm, and is "striking" out on her own. She made a great impression with her company's first project: Circus, in two versions, Deluxa and Black Mosquito. The Deluxe edition employs two-headed court cards while the Black Mosquito edition has one-way, head and torso portraits, both performed in a dark, Victorianesque style. The details include a unique deck seal, individually serial-numbered and printed to look like a ticket to the show, metallic inks on the cards and embossing on the tuck boxes. Printed by Noir Arts Playing Card Company (NPCC).
Ms. Larsen worked in collaboration with graphic artist Martin Helgren on this deck. They are both nominated for Artist of the Year and Circus is nominated for Deck of the Year.
