Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well :)

I am here to showcase our new deck, Imported Playing Cards Blue Edition, with some wonderful photography by the talented Chambertincards/Chris Moyer. This is a timeless deck of cards paying tribute to the golden era of playing card manufacture, and is chock full of classic motifs and authentic details for you to enjoy: it is printed on Viper Finish by Legends and housed in a silky matte tuck finished with a tax band. 

If you like what you see, these cards are only available from our store HERE

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi everyone,

I am here to let you all know about my Patreon page. My previous work includes Imported Playing Cards, Legends Vintage Edition Copperhead and the recent Osprey & Goshawk Kickstarter campaign. The page will document my progress as I start with a blank canvas and hand-illustrate a custom deck of vintage-inspired playing cards to be included in annual rewards packages for Patrons.

I have included two pieces of artwork to pique your interest: one is a Victorian style poster based on the themes of the year 1 deck, "The Patron", and the other is my recently completed Queen of Hearts, drawn in a unique yet familiar antique style and colour palette. The link to my page is included below, I would appreciate you checking it out and if you decide you want to stick around, even better :) This is going to be a memorable project and a worthy reward package I promise.

Thank you all for your interest and support, if you have any questions, please reach out.

Hi everyone,

I am here today to announce plans for my upcoming Kickstarter campaign: Osprey No 2 & Goshawk No 3 Vintage Playing Cards. This is a two deck set housed in a tobacco tin featuring one deck in blue and one in red. I have been working on this for over a year and I hope you enjoy the result! Hand-drawn vintage style illustration throughout, nothing stock and no A.I. The cards are Poker size and will be printed by Legends on their pre-crushed stock with Classic Finish (I recently handled a deck of these for the first time and found them to be incredible). The tuck will be printed inside and out on luxury matte card stock. For those of you interested in classic and antique decks, you will find many design cues taken from the great manufacturers of old: for those who are not, I hope you can appreciate the beautiful old-world aesthetic that we have tried to conjure up with these decks, and immerse yourself in the wonderful photography taken by Chris Moyer aka Chambertincards. The Pre-launch is now live, so please sign up to be notified if this project is something you are interested in, we plan on launching on Weds July 24th. We hope to see as many of you as possible there, I will leave you with some photos to look through and will return closer to the date of the campaign launch. Also for those of you who remember our first campaign, we will work our hardest to bring our USA friends the best possible shipping rates we can on this one!

Hi everyone. Some of you may remember the Kickstarter... we have now self-funded and produced these with Legends PCC. A fully custom poker size deck inspired by classic and vintage decks from the golden age of playing cards with painstaking hand-drawn artwork throughout. They are available for purchase with free international shipping on orders over $50USD. I hope some of you will take a look...  :D
