The iconic Kings Wild Tigers that first debuted on Kickstarter in 2018 now make a grand return with the Kings Wild Tigers 2nd Edition featuring new colors and new designs, but that same perfectly executed vintage matchbox look and feel.

"I have always been interested and also inspired by printing methods and aesthetics of the late 1800s & early 1900s, especially the wide range of matchbook ephemera produced all over the world. I find it so interesting that so much beauty and variety can be found in material that, at the time, was produced to be "throw away". The Kings Wild Tigers are an artistic study and creation, in the form of playing cards, that pays homage to the beautiful world of matchbook printing of the late 1800s & early 1900s." - Jackson Robinson, Designer, CEO

The Arthurian Excalibur Edition is a limited edition set of hand-illustrated medieval playing cards celebrating the story and legend of King Arthur and many characters that have surrounded his court for hundreds of years. This medieval playing card deck is illustrated in the style of The Book of Kells that is believed to have originated in the same geographical area around the same time as the legend of King Arthur.

Deck The Halls originally released in 2018 taking inspiration from those horrifically ugly sweaters your dad wore to Christmas parties and bragged about. The knitted texture design around the tuck case is 100% real and literally woven into the tuck case. With a new color scheme that includes gold thread in the exterior fabric design and gold foil on the card backs, the new Deck The Halls is of the utmost ugly sweater deliciousness, inside and out.

This deck was manufactured by the Expert Playing Card Company in the PRC.

The Inspiration for this project has been an interesting one. So many of my decks in the past have centered around a theme or a specific moment in History. Because of this, I have always had historical characters to feature in my decks depending on the theme.

For this project, the beginnings were a little bit different. Many times between projects I will spend a few days just gathering reference and pouring over tons of beautiful images of art and other things that I might find inspiration from.

As I was searching for a creative direction for a new project, a song began to play on my playlist that really caught my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all types of music but when I am working I seem to find the most focus listening to instrumental music from cinema, games, and other types of media.

This song captivated me, and it was the catalyst for the entire project. I put it on repeat and listened to it to all day while creating a completely new set of court cards from the images of, what I would describe as a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The designs that transpired over the course of the day were promising to me, and most of very different from any of my previous work.

The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that sparked it, Invocation.
