Now on Kickstarter, the Sketch & Draft Bicycle Playing Cards are designed by Randy Butterfield of Midnight Cards, and produced by Will Roya of PCD. Two decks are available during the campaign, Sketch and Draft edition.
The fully custom sketch deck features USPCC’s Maiden Back and standard modern Court Cards in a hand-drawn sketch style design.
To finish the sketch vibe, accent shapes/markings and spiral rings are added symmetrically throughout each Face Card. The Ace of Spade and Jokers feature a wood mannequin hand model.
The Tuck Box for the Sketch Bicycle Deck emulates a traditional sketch pad. The spiral rings are visible on the front and back, and the sides graphically feature the individual edges of each sheet. The pencils, eraser, and copy treatment on the front complete the sketch pad look in the design.
For the Draft edition, the sketch style drawings from the Sketch edition deck are inverted to create a traditional white line art on blueprint grid paper look. To maintain familiarity, the Hearts and Diamonds large pips contain Red borders throughout. To complete the blueprint feel, accent shapes and markings are added symmetrically to each Face Card.
The Tuck Box for the Draft Bicycle Deck emulates a blueprint drawing pad. The black bounding at the top wraps over to the front and back, and the sides graphically feature the individual edges of each sheet.
Similar to Sketch Tuck, the pencils, eraser, and copy treatment on the front complete the drawing pad look in the overall design.
Printed by the UPSCC and available NOW on Kickstarter for $11.
