Lorenzo Gaggiotti has just been unveiled as the artist behind the mysterious Stockholm17 Playing Cards. This deck was created exclusively for the launch of Cardlauncher. Besides that, not much is known about this deck.
From the teaser images, Lorenzo's use of simplicity, contrast and eclecticism can be clearly seen on this deck. For example, the diamonds courts have an Egyptian look, the Jacks have a side profile, the Queens faces the front and the King looks to the left towards the Queen (when they are put in the J,Q,K sequence).
The Stockholm17 courts incorporated one or more graphical elements taken and redesigned from the standard Tally-Ho from USPCC as a homage to the well known standard courts.
The Jack of Hearts
The Queen of Clubs
The King of Diamonds
