Now on Kickstarter, the Pin Up Military (Battletime Edition) Playing Cards are dedicated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Pin Up style, or pictures of models or actresses whose mass-produced pictures were intended for informal displays gained popularity during the first World War.
For the soldiers, there was a representation of an ideal beautiful woman and symbolizes the ones waiting for them at home. The characters are women of modern war- harsh and relentless, combining force and restraint (which is inherent to the classic Pin Up style).
The art created by Sviatoslav Pashchuk, both on tuck boxes and the cards modern weapons and symbols are meticulously illustrated. Two decks are on offer- Field, and War, both are fully custom with beautiful hand-illustrated face cards.
The War edition tuck box is printed on black stock and comes with gold, copper, red foil, and embossed. Inside, the mirrored back design includes metallic gold ink to give the cards a touch of luxury.
The field edition is printed on green stock and features silver, copper, red foil, and embossing on the tuck box. Inside, the mirrored back design includes metallic silver ink and a different Ace of Spades.
Pin Up decks will be printed in Ukraine by NPCC and pledge starts at $14 on Kickstarter.
