Nautical. Octopus. Gray.
Created for Hi My Name Is Mark (HMNIM), a lifestyle brand by Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 fame, the original HMNIM playing cards are a collaboration with Dan & Dave in 2014. The cards quickly sold out and have since been one of Art of Play‘s most-requested decks to bring back.
The art within the deck is predominantly focussed around HMNIM’s branding, in particular, the use of the octopus. The nautical theme has custom card backs, Ace of Spades, Jokers, and face cards. The courts for all suits are hand-illustrated and have repeating one-way designs.
Initially released in a navy-blue colorway, version 2 comes in a slate-gray colorway. Packaged in a luxurious letterpress-printed tuck box. Sealed with a gold stamp. Printed by the U.S. Playing Cards Co. with metallic gold accents on a thin-stock preferred by cardists.
