Who Art in Heaven Playing Cards

Who Art in Heaven is a whimsical hand-illustrated deck of playing cards that blends medieval astrology with storytelling, featuring anthropomorphic rabbits who dream of the stars. Designed by Jack Brutus Penny, the narrative follows a young scribe, the Kit, as he questions the cosmos under the guidance of a strict cleric in a world where rabbits ponder the universe's mysteries.

Inside, the deck invites you to explore a celestial journey through 100% custom art and innovative designs. The artwork's unique UV ink captures the playful musings of the Kit, designed in collaboration with children to reflect the innocent wonder of stargazing.

The deck’s aces form a black hole image, symbolizing the unknown from which the Kit's fantasies emerge, while the custom pip cards combine to reveal scenes that change between light and dark.

The tuck box showcases a full wrap-around celestial image with radiant glitter foiling, adding a touch of magic to the unboxing experience.

Who Art in Heaven is more than a card deck—it's a continuation of Jack's whimsical world, introduced in projects like Culturae Animalis and Tails of Mischief. Proceeds from the project also support animal welfare, helping to rescue and rehome animals.

Limited to 1,000 decks, the deck will be printed by King Star Playing Cards. Pledge starts at $27 on Kickstarter.
