The Clockwork Ink deck features black and white pen & ink clockwork illustrations from the book How To Draw & Paint Fantastical Clockwork.

Gather your droogs and revel in a game with this deck of officially licensed playing cards from the acclaimed film, A Clockwork Orange.

This has been printed by USPCC in a limited edition of 2500, and was funded on Kickstarter. The face of this deck is animated, but not the back. This deck is based upon the city of Paris, France, in a brilliant art nouveau style (with some inspiration by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha). The artist's goal is to give the beholder the experience of holding a clockwork jewel-box while viewing the flip-book animation. As a new feature of all future fig. 23 decks, there are two different jokers, which both feature a Gallic Rooster, the national symbol of France. The pips are traditional. The court cards are different for each suit and show drawings in red for the red suits and in black for the black suits. The Jacks show knights' helmets; the Queens show open crowns; and the Kings show closed crowns.

The face features the fig. 23 animated logo and a day/night rotating image with rotating sun and moon. The clockwork is large and shows a great sense of depth.

The backs are two-way and as pictured on the back of the tuck box. The deck is dedicated to Terry Menefee Gau. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/155-clockwork_la_ville_lumiere

This is visually based upon mid to late 1800's design and illustration with a dash of Monty Python-esque humor. All previous decks, produced under his seal fig. 23, took their inspiration from artistic and historical references linked to big cities such as New York, Paris or London. This time, the deck refers to the state of Montana whence Stephen has recently moved. Montana’s culture is rooted in the 1800’s when it was a prosperous mining area. Stephen wanted to mix the vintage style of the time with hipster fashion in a fun humorous way. For this, he has created a multitude of moving parts that are animated in his particular work in motion. With a flip-book movement, the cards reveal a curious animation showing also the completely customised pips. The flip book animation shows the growing of a fantastic mustache via the moving gears and dials in the head of the gentleman featured on the back of the tuck box. The 'fig. 23' logo beneath him is also animated.All cards follow this animation, and the court cards have a king's crown, a queen's crown, and a knight's helmet, respectively. There are two different full colour jokers in an embellished Victorian style. One is two-way and predominantly red-brown, featuring a Victorian gentleman looking in a mirror and seeing a devil. The other is one way and predominantly blue, featuring a head of the devil. The backs are one-way as per the front of the tuck box. The finish is smooth, and the stock has a good spring.
