playlist playing cards

personal project: a set of illustrated playing cards

concept: each playing card features an illustration of a song somehow connected to the card’s value: ‘505’ by arctic monkeys for the five of clubs, ‘two slow dancers’ by mitski for the two of hearts, and so on. the face cards (jack, queen, king) feature split or mirrored illustrations as a regular deck would.

medium: pen-and-ink, scanned & colour-corrected
