Kickstarter: 7 Questions with Annette Abolins of the VIZAĜO Playing Cards

The fun and vibrant VIZAĜO Playing Cards are designed by Australian artist Annette Abolins. This fully custom illustrated deck explores faces in a truly colorful way. More than a year in the making, the VIZAĜO artwork is influenced by traditional lino/wood-cut and contour line drawing techniques.

VIZAĜO features custom pips and courts in bold lines and vibrant color, each with its own distinct palette. The Aces are dressed in colors matching its suit's court, consistent with the theme of face cards. Also, each suit has its distinct palette, allowing the bold artwork to flow across the cards depicting vibrantly segmented faces.

Just before the launch of the Kickstarter campaign, we had a chance to talk to Annette about her design background, the inspiration, and design process behind VIZAĜO.

For those of us who don’t know, tell us a little about yourself?
Greetings from Australia and thank you for your questions! I'm an artist on a curious journey, which to date has taken me on a winding path from traditional painting and drawing; to printmaking, photography, industrial ceramics, pottery, web & graphic design and digital art. In 2010, when I embarked on my first deck project (illustrating Nine Lives Tarot), I discovered a true passion for designing cards. There is something quite magical about ancient systems based on visual language and the endless well of inspiration they provide for artists. When I’m not telling stories through art or designing websites, soul is enriched by family & friends, cats, music and the ocean.

What do you love most about being a designer? And what are some favorite projects you’ve worked on?
I love the journey involved in travelling from idea to finished design; some journeys are about discovery and inspiration, others more about problem-solving - though each project has something unique and inspiring to offer. One ceramics related project concluded with dinner in the Blue Hall in Stockholm (where the Nobel Prize Dinner is held each year), that was rather special :)

Can you describe the VIZAĜO Playing Cards? and why you’re passionate about it?
VIZAĜO is a celebration of colour, people and faces. Faces have appeared in my work for decades - from drawings & paintings to whimsical faces on teapots, mugs and bowls. This is a joyful and fun deck, which I truly enjoyed creating the artwork for. VIZAĜO [Vi-za-joh] – is Face in Esperanto - and it seemed just right to source the name for this deck from a language originally inspired to connect humanity across borders.

Talk to us a bit about going from the first draft to the final version. How did you get to this finished product?
The artwork for VIZAĜO is influenced by traditional lino/wood-cut and contour line-drawing techniques. From ink on paper to finished designs, developing each card and character has been been filled with inspiring moments. I especially enjoyed all the feedback on PCF forum where I posted regular updates along the way.

What was your most brilliant breakthrough when designing the deck?
That is a difficult question! In a sense I had a clear picture of this deck from the start, though there have been plenty of twists and turns along the way to bring each card to life. Developing the number cards was a breakthrough, as was the decision to add a second colour version. Together, the two decks reflect the colour palettes of the four suits, where Lumina (the red deck) incorporates the colours of hearts and diamonds, followed by Lumino (blue deck), which brings out colours from clubs and spades. Lumina and Lumino are a name-play on light vs dark, where both versions have identical card faces, giving card backs and tuck boxes their moment to shine...

From the project page, what are a few of your favorite reward levels and why?
This project focusses very much on the deck itself, so a favourite reward level would be one which gives me at least a few decks of each version :)

Finally, what are your favorite playing cards?
I am drawn to cards with stories, beautiful artwork and design - Three decks that I have been fortunate to discover recently are: ROME Anthony and Caesar: the artwork is gorgeous and Randy's attention to every little detail is stunning! Gemini: Lorenzo has created a truly beautiful deck of cards; a real treasure! Arcana: Chris' intricate illustrations connecting tarot and playing cards are just wonderful :)

Thank you for your time and all the best, Annette! If want to support VIZAĜO Playing Cards you can find it on Kickstarter here!


There will be two colors available in the campaign, the Lumina (red) and the stretched goal, Lumino (blue) version. Both will be printed by the Legends Playing Card Co. Pledge starts from $15 and add-on such as uncut sheets are available.

Deck View: Memento Mori Playing Cards

Cardistry: 3 Questions with Matthew Davis of the Nyx Reds deck

Conceptualized by Matthew Davis from Paris, France, the Nyx Reds deck is a custom deck designed specifically for cardistry in mind. The unique deck features geometrical faces and back design in red, black and gray colourway, giving your flourishes a distinctive look.

Matthew founded Nyx Cards late 2014 on YouTube. After two years, his audience numbers grew big enough for him to start his own website, nyxcards.com. He came up with Nyx Cards because he wanted to create a place where beginner cardists could learn quality flourishes easily and effectively.

This year, Matthew has started adding members to the Nyx Cards team. That includes sponsoring cardists, featuring them on the YouTube channel, and website. We had a quick chat to Matthew about the inspiration behind the Nyx Red deck, the cardistry community, and his favorite flourish and deck.

What is your inspiration behind the Nyx Red deck? How did you come up with the idea?
The Nyx Reds deck is an idea I originally came up with 2 years ago. Due to the fact that I like to do Urbexing, or exploring abandoned areas at night, I decided to make night the deck’s theme. Since I’ve started the art of card flourishing, I wanted to create my own deck of cards. At first, I just wanted my own custom deck to use in my videos, but people started asking where they could purchase them.

So that’s why I’ve been working on this design for over 1 year, with my brother Marc, a graphic designer living near Paris as well. The back design on the cards is what took the most time, and is what I believe, the most important feature in a cardistry based deck of cards.

We first saw the Nyx Red deck on Instagram. What do you think of the cardistry community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting so far on the social media platform?
Nyx Cards maintained a pretty small community during its first two years. It is only in 2016 that our follower count on YouTube and Instagram started to hit a constant growth. Although some people dislike the design of the Nyx Reds, many love their design and colors. Here at Nyx Cards, we think that many who haven’t heard of these yet will enjoy them!

Finally, what are your favourite flourish and playing card decks?
Personally, I really love geometric designs like the Frostbite playing cards by Sam Wheeler, or the Tessellatus playing cards.

Thanks, Matthew and all the best! Currently funding on Kickstarter, pledge starts from CA$17 (~USD$12). The deck will be printed by the United States Playing Card Co.

Kickstarter: 5 Things You Didn't Know About MPC and the Impressions Foil Playing Cards Series

The Impressions Foil Playing Cards Series are designed and manufactured by MakePlayingCards (MPC). This unique deck series were created using high gloss embossing technique with a metallic layer infused to give it a very glossy look that is both eye-catching and at the same time a unique touch and feel aspect to the cards.

Currently funding on Kickstarter, the Gold and Silver embossed foil backs is the third Impressions Foil in the series. Here are 5 things you didn't know about MPC and the Impressions series:

1. MPC is a large custom playing cards manufacturer. MPC not only produces their own brand of playing cards but are in fact a large tabletop games printer and manufacturer of over 35 years. According to Alex Tse of MPC, "We produce games for many of the large retail tabletop game brands out there. Our experience in this industry allows us to make playing cards exactly the way we want it in terms of material, handling, quality, print and production, thanks to our very talented R&D and production teams. We have made huge investments in different state of the art machinery which allows us to manufacture with no minimum order quantity on most items, something that is very hard to achieve in this industry. This coupled with our very flexible and powerful user-friendly online playing cards maker, makes MPC one of the best choices out there if you need playing cards or card game production."

2. This is the third Impressions Foil playing card series and the fifth in the Impressions series. "We continue to release more playing cards under this series due to their ever growing popularity in the market. The gold and silver decks have in fact been developed for a while now but we have so much in the works that we have only been able to release it now. Arriving at the chosen shades of gold and silver took us a very long time. We wanted a gold which is not too gold but rather that it should show elegance and luxury. The silver then followed and we had to make sure that its color matched the gold as well. The handling of the cards is simply great and we love it. Developing the recipe for it so that it has the right balance of beauty, practicality and handling were painstakingly difficult and time-consuming."

3. There may be another surprise release "We do have something else in planned which we will release in due time. All we can say is that it completes the set for this Kickstarter and that we’re very excited about it."

4. Alex is the guy who is in the frontline communicating with the Kickstarter backers and came up with the Impressions series. Alex came up with the idea to apply the very special high gloss embossing onto playing cards. It was a huge risk to take doing this for a number of reasons including that it has never been done before therefore, involved huge amounts of development trial and error. Also that this new concept may not be accepted by the playing cards industry. Nevertheless, MPC decided to go with it based on Alex’s hunch that it would be successful.

5. We know it as Impressions technology but MPC calls it high gloss embossing. It is such a unique printing and production method that can only be found on MPC playing cards. "The machine that we have in our possession is not a common one but having the machine itself means nothing. The investments in R&D to develop these cards with high gloss embossing and foil layer as found on this Kickstarter is a feat of engineering in the printing and manufacturing industry. We have the high gloss embossing available to customers who wish to use this technology with their own designs which can be found on MPC's website but not with the foil layer as this is exclusive to the MPC branded cards only."

Available Gold and Silver. Pledge starts from $16 and half and full metallic brick box and uncut sheets are available as add-ons. Check out the Kickstarter campaign here!

Both tucks are embossed, hot-stamped with metal foil- silver foil on black tuck for the Danegeld Edition and gold foil on dark red tuck for the Yggdrasil Edition and custom numbered seal.

Kickstarter: 5 Things You Should Know About GAIA Playing Cards by Forge Arts

GAIA Playing Cards from Forge Arts is a hand-drawn deck of playing cards featuring rich artwork of animals and the biomes they encompass. Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, this colorful deck is designed by Ben Sinclair.

The deck features an earthly tone on the back design which incorporate patterns that meant to convey life. The earthy colors contrast the bright colors from the rest of the face cards, beautifully tying the deck together. Here are 5 things you should know about GAIA Playing Cards:

1. The entire deck is hand drawn by 17-year-old artist Ben Sinclair. UK illustrator Ben was inspired by Wylie Beckert while designing the deck. Interestingly, while creating the designs he never thought of having them produced into real playing cards, they were instead a personal art project. The designs took hundreds of hours to produce using Sketchbook Pro and a Cintiq 13HD to create them digitally. Eventually Ben wanted to share these designs by offering them in an actual deck of cards. That’s when Forge Arts linked up with Ben to prepare the designs and offer them in a limited edition release of the deck which was named ‘GAIA’.

2. The tuck box is wrap-around, fully panoramic design featuring a lush landscape with animals. The GAIA tuck serves as a teaser for nature and wildlife contained inside. The foreground elements are embossed to give depth and create a truly stunning and special look. On the back, eagles soar over the land, while elephants stroll along a river with a waterfall crashing behind them.

3. The theme of the deck is based around 12 animals from 4 distinct ecological biomes. Ben Sinclair truly designed a unique deck like no other. Each suit in the deck is based off a real world biome. The Clubs represent the tropical rainforest, the Hearts portray the savanna grasslands, the Spades characterize the high-altitude alpines, and the Diamonds represent the freezing tundra. The jacks, queens, and kings are made up of awe-inspiring illustrations of the wildlife which inhabit these biomes. The aces are also crafted to fit into their environment.

4. Limited edition signed and numbered prints by Ben. Forge Arts wanted a way to show off the incredible detail in the court card illustrations. As a Kickstarter exclusive release, they decided to offer individually signed and numbered prints of all 12 animals featured in the deck. The prints measure 11 x 17 inches and are perfect for framing on the wall. You can grab one of these exclusive prints by going to the add-ons section on the Kickstarter page.

5. Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on an air-cushion finish. While appealing to collectors, Forge Arts also wanted to create a deck that could handle well. This is why they decided to print with the USPCC on their embossed, air cushion finish for superior handling. If the campaign hits the stretch goal at $20,000, they plan to upgrade to a casino Bee stock for the cards.

Pledge starts from $14 and limited edition signed art-print, dealer coin, uncut sheets are available as add-ons. Check out the Kickstarter campaign here!

Cardistry: 3 Questions with Lukas Aye of the AEY Catcher Deck

[Update] The AEY Catcher deck is NOW available on the AEY Catcher online store!

This unique cardistry deck was designed by Alessa Schröder for AEY Catcher, an international cardistry team consisting Lukas Aey, Hai Do, Felix Meyer and Bart Uriot. This fully custom deck was conceptualised by 19-year old Lukas from Germany, who is a performing magician and an aspiring cardist. His passion is to inspire people to follow their dreams and to bring the magic and cardistry community from around the world together.

We had a quick chat to Lukas about the inspiration behind the AEY Catcher deck, the community, and his favorite flourish and deck.

1. What is your inspiration behind the AEY Catcher deck? How did you come up with the idea?
We worked on the design a really long time. Especially Alessa, who had lots of great ideas. I can't really say how we did come up with that design. It was like a very long process of designing with exchanging ideas and feedback. The most importantly, it looks damn cool and looks modern and minimalistic, which in my opinion, stands out from the traditional decks.

What do you think of the cardistry community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting so far?
Of course, we already had amazing support from many of YOU! Well before the long awaited launch of our deck, we already received feedback and launch date requests from cardists literally all over the world and already have more than 4,000 Instagram (@aey_catcher) follower.

Finally, what are your favorite flourish and playing card decks?
Since I am not a professional cardist yet I don't have a favorite flourish and my favorite deck is, of course, the AEY catcher deck. It's more than a dream for me. It will get in many hands all over the world and people will have a better life with them.

[Update] The AEY Catcher deck is NOW available on the AEY Catcher online store!

Thanks Lukas and all the best! The AEY Catcher deck will be printed by the USPCC and available sometime in May. No launch date has been given at the time of writing.

Cardistry: 3 Questions with Omar Renfro of the Red Stripe Playing Cards

Omar Renfro, 24 is the designer behind the Red Stripe Playing Cards and is based out of Los Angeles. He has been doing cardistry for about 4 years but handled cards for 10 years doing close up magic. Having just released the vibrant deck earlier this week, we caught up with the Omar to have a chat about the inspiration behind Red Stripe, his thoughts on the cardistry community and his favorite decks.

What is your inspiration behind the Red Stripe Playing Cards?
My inspiration behind creating Red Stripe Playing Cards was to make a fully custom deck. I was tired of seeing custom decks come out that only had a custom back design, ace, and joker's. No one ever took it outside the box and played around with the court cards. I took what I knew from doing art and applied it to the other thing I loved, playing cards. I made my own genre of playing cards cardARTistry.

We first saw the Red Stripe Playing Cards on Instagram. What do you think of the cardistry community in terms of the feedback and support that you’ve been getting so far on the social media platform?
People seem to like it now, I think when I first put it on Kickstarter it was a little ahead of it's time, but I think people will appreciate it for what it is now.

Finally, what are your favorite flourish and playing card decks?
Well trying not to be biased and name my own deck, I'd probably say any edition of the virts cards, the cardistry-con 2016 deck, and the Casual Playing card deck.

Red Stripe Playing Cards are printed by Hanson Chien Production Co. and are now available from OmarRenfro.com.

Kickstarter: 7 Questions with Jason Johnson of the Hanami deck

Illustrated by artist Antonietta Fazio-Johnson and produced by IndianWolf Studios, Hanami Playing Cards is a unique deck of playing cards currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. Hanami is available in two formats, Hanafuda and Fusion.

Hanafuda are a floral-themed deck that is rich in symbolism and popular in Japan, Korea, and Hawaii. Hanafuda cards have 12 suits with each represented by a month of the year and each month is represented by a flower. Each month of the Hanami Hanafuda deck is designed to form a tetraptych.

Since traditional Hanafuda cards lack pips and indices, the fusion deck was designed to indicate the flower, month, and type of each card. The combination of these indices with traditional Hanafuda imagery and standard poker indices are used to create a multipurpose deck that could play both Eastern and Western games.

We had a quick chat with Jason Johnson, President of IndianWolf Studios and asked him about Indian Wolf Studios, the inspiration & design process behind the Hanami deck and his favorite reward level from the project.

For those of us who don't know, tell us a little about yourself and IndianWolf Studios?
I’m Jason Johnson and I started IndianWolf Studios to focus on my passion for game design. My professional background is in computer science where I spent several years doing programming, QA, automated testing, and application design & development.

My wife, Antonietta, is the artist as well as the owner of her own business, Inner Hue Art Studio. Antonietta’s current focus has been on digital art and illustration for our playing cards and board game projects. She also has a degree in Fine Arts and years of experience with more traditional mediums, with a focus on batik.

Together, we make a great creative team! There are several projects we are currently working on; a few of them are on my website. And we have much more planned for the future.

What is your inspiration behind the Hanami Hanafuda Playing Cards? How did you come up with the idea?
Hanami was inspired by the floral motifs and symbolism-rich imagery of traditional Japanese Hanafuda. We both love playing Hanafuda and the complex history, pipless floral design, and variety of games intrigued us.

When we were first introduced to Hanafuda, the cards were not easy to find and coherent English rules were practically nonexistent. While Hanafuda are finally becoming more popular in the US, rules for Hanafuda games remain difficult to find. This is one of the things that led us to create the Hanafuda Games rulebook and Fusion deck. We wanted to make Hanafuda more accessible to new players.

Much of Antonietta’s work focuses on floral and figurative art so the concept of creating a floral series based on Hhanafuda was naturally appealing to her. She found the additional challenge of creating a consistently-themed series of 13 tetraptychs that must also stand alone as 54 unique individual images and function as a playable Hanafuda deck intriguing.

Talk to us a bit about going from the first draft to the final version. How did you get to this finished product?
It all started with a lot of research. The more we researched Hanafuda, the more interested we became in creating our own deck. Being new to the playing card industry, we also had a lot to learn about the playing card printing process and worldwide fulfillment.

Our first Hanafuda deck, i Nudi: A Tribute to Lovers, was an erotic art deck that explored Hanafuda’s illegal past and the historical censorship of erotic art. i Nudi had a rather polarized public reception, but a small print run of i Nudi was successfully funded on Kickstarter last year.

My wife jokingly refers to i Nudi as the underpainting of Hanami. Hanami was created following i Nudi as a more painterly reinterpretation of Hanafuda. As a reflection of its historical inspirations, i Nudi was designed to use a stark and limited color palette. It also substituted the traditional Hanafuda iconography with figures. With Hanami, she wanted to create a vibrant colorful deck, with more traditional iconography, that could be shared with a wider audience.

Artistically, there was a lot of focus on composition, color, and depth. Antonietta wanted to create a unique floral scene for each month, so she designed Hanami as 13 tetraptychs. The challenge of creating tetraptych playing cards was that they needed to work compositionally both as a whole and as individual cards. The design went through many hand-drawn iterations both in Photoshop and on paper.

How did you get feedback?
The 52 Plus Joker playing card forum, the United Cardists forum, and our backers have been a great source of feedback and motivation.For example, the new border design for our Fusion deck was a result of feedback from the forums. People loved the art and wanted to see more of it in the Fusion design, so they suggested opening up the borders more. It was a great suggestion and, after further discussion of some design options we came up with, we ended up with a stronger design.

What was your most brilliant breakthrough when designing the deck?
The Hanafuda indices for the Fusion deck. When we first began designing our fusion decks, there were a few suggestions in the forum about adding markings, similar to Hawaiian Hanafuda, that could indicate specific point values and yaku.

However, we were not satisfied with the limitations these approaches placed on the versatility of the decks. Since point values and yaku vary widely from game to game, this would have limited the decks usefulness to a particular game. Additionally, we felt these markings degraded the visual appeal of the design.

This led us to ddesignour own Hanafuda indices. Indices, similar to Poker indices, that could be used for any Hanafuda game without limitation.

The flower index indicates the flower and month. The standard poker number index corresponds with the month (2=Feb, 3=March, and so on). The type index indicates the hanafuda card type (Bright, Ten, Poetry Ribbon, Red Ribbon, Purple Ribbon, and Chaff). These indices aid players in card identification without using numerical values, phrases, or other limiting markings.

From the project page, what are a few of your favorite reward levels and why?
The Two Deck reward level with the Rulebook add-on is our personal favorite because it means that the backer not only likes our design but also wants to learn more about hanafuda. We love knowing that we are helping to revitalize a classic by introducing more people to hanafuda. The Uncut Sheets are quite mesmerizing as well.

Finally, what are your favorite playing cards?
We both enjoy artistic decks like Wicked Kingdom. The asymmetrical court cards are beautiful and the small artistic details add depth to the characters. The new Eva deck and tuck by ThirdWay Industries just caught our attention with its intricate line work, repetition, and small details. We also both love the origami tuck jackets for Steve Minty’s Hana Signature Decks.

Thanks Jason! All the best! At the time of writing, the project is 33% funded with 23 days to go. If want to support the Hanami deck, you can find it on Kickstarter here.


Pledge starts from $17 and the decks will be printed by Legends Playing Card Co. Also, there are multiple add-ons available such as the 250-page full-color Rulebook with 31 games and the uncut sheets.
