The main idea of this project is to create a deck of 54 unique playing cards. Artists and illustrators pick a card each and design it in their own style.

I’ve always been fascinated by the “Death’s-head Hawkmoth” used in the “Silence of the Lambs” poster ever since the movie came out way back when. For those who are not familiar with it, these moths are easily distinguishable by the vaguely human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax.

A good photo manipulation can easily teleport you to a place or a scene that you know doesn’t exist but lives only in our imagination.
