TIM BISKUP (b. 1967, CA), 'Lucky Stack (The)', 2002 (1st edition) This is a casino quality poker deck of 52 playing cards by artist Tim Biskup. Every card has a terrific reproduction of one of his paintings. The Lucky Stack is sure to bless you with good fortune on your next poker night. Each and every card has a unique face, rendered in Biskup's colorful and whimsical style. Tim Biskup has successfully created a unique and widely recognizable style out of the marriage of comic book illustration, graphic design, and abstractionism. His graphical, multilayered works are precise and colorful while expressing movement and intensity. Biskup's dense, character driven style is inspired by mid-century modern design infused with a healthy dose of punk rock energy. He classifies his style as 'Baroque Modernism' due to its infusion of modernism and ornate, detailed patterns. A main influence of Tim's is Mary Blair, a designer who worked for Walt Disney for 37 years and is best known for her work on the Disney animated films Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Since entering the Lowbrow scene in the late 90's, Tim's artwork has evolved at a break-neck pace. He has extended his aesthetic influence into print, media, clothing and many other arenas while creating works for galleries and maintaining focus as a painter. He's collaborated with artists Mark Ryden and Gary Baseman and organized art auctions and exhibitions. His highly sought after original paintings and sculptures have been shown worldwide, including galleries in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Kyoto and Melbourne.

The Red Team, or Carnaros Faction, do not stray far from their home in the Carnaros Valley, north of the Adia Mountains, except to seek out an enemy of the True Bloods. Their King wears The Carnaros Sigil, a Sigil stone of great power that links all devout Carnaros people and lets them use their life force to perform marvels through the use of soul stones. Their soul stones can be linked to the Sigil stone worn by the King. Tithes of energy go automatically to the Sigil to which they are linked and surplus flows back to the people. The Carnaros strive to live by the rule of Purity and Separation and fight against all that is corrupted or impure in their homes, on their borders and abroad, to destroy the half-men and any who would protect them. Carnaros means Red Rose.

In the Hearts of Darkness playing card deck, the four suits are four versions of the Carnaros courts. Their fall from their status of Righteous Crusaders, to Zombie Zealots is shown in the four suits.
