The Plum Pi Playing Cards is the first deck in an 8-deck series of playing card decks called the Pi Slice Series, produced by playing card designer Jackson Robinson of Kings Wild Project. Each deck in the Pi Slice Series features a unique Pi flavor. The Plum Pi decks are specifically designed for a distinctive visual "pop" to make your card handling and cardistry more exciting. Each deck in the Pi Slice Series is printed by the United States Playing Card Company, and also comes with a holographic collector's sticker to keep track of all the decks in the Pi Slice Series.

Inspired by Pointillism, the OCULUS Reduxe Deck features a four corners-bleed borderless design, with bold and vibrant blues that contrast sharply against the stark white elements that carry out to the edges. The design is meant to flow through flourishes and allow for unique displays that aren't possible with conventional borders, and to provide dynamic table displays. The OCULUS Reduxe is produced by Mike Wilson (theDoc318) and designed by Randy Butterfield (Midnight Cards). The Court cards each have a radial design structure that gives them an abstract, yet familiar, look. The PIPS and Indices have a non-typical Red (Hearts/Diamonds) and Blue (Clubs/Spades) color combo, and are easy to read for maximum playability. This deck, then, can become part of your everyday carry, as you can practice cardistry, magic, and stealing money from your friends in a game of poker (no, this is not a marked deck). The OCULUS Reduxe tuck box features a bold design of rich reds and blues. Printed by Expert Playing Cards, with its Taiwan printer, the OCULUS Reduxe Deck utilizes its exceptional classic finish and is traditionally cut.

Insecta is a transformations deck that imagines a vibrant symbiotic relationship between card players and pip-carrying insects. Every single card has a unique and highly detailed design, hand-drawn by me (I'm Immy Smith, hi) featuring colourful imaginary insects. There are 2 colour variants with different tucks and card back designs. Well over 1500 hours have gone into drawing the card face designs, and more are going into editing the deck & book artwork for print. This deck is a labour of love; about 2000 hours of creative work, all in! It features more than 240 individual insects (no copy-pasting, every single insect has been drawn separately - you can see a timelapse of the 10 of hearts below.)

I'm always curious about how nature responds to change, & how life adapts to new environments. In my Cryptic Cards deck, I imagined what would happen if moths evolved new wing patterns to hide on human-made materials like playing cards. The idea behind Insecta, rather than cryptic camouflage, is a colourful symbiosis. I'm asking 'what would happen if insects evolved a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with card players or collectors, and adapted to new habitats in our spaces?'

The Insecta deck is my imagined answer to that question; a story where new species from different taxonomic orders of insects have evolved to carry suit symbols for players, in exchange for a safe home on card tables. The 2 colour variants, Opal and Ruby, are inspired by the jewel-like appearance of many insects, and reflect the colours in the court cards of the different suits.
