It seems that everyone is either an inventor or knows an inventor. We all appreciate the story behind a cool invention. That's why each card includes an amazing illustration and information about the invention, including the inventor's name, the patent title, the patent date, and the patent number. I'll show you how to easily look-up patents so you can read the full document--and see the other illustrations--if you want to learn more.

The Red Deck is also completely designed, and features a selection of the most recognizable patents of all time, including the light bulb, the Slinky, Lego's, Model-T Ford, etc.

Back in 2011, I launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for the coffee table art book The Art of the Patent, which honors the incredible artwork created by patent illustrators over the last 220+ years. The Blue Deck, which represents patents from this book with some of history's best patent artwork, is already designed and ready to go to the printers.

The Drowning World Poker Deck by Kahn & Selesnick, this edition limited to 200 total copies. This card deck, when laid out end-to-end, forms one continuous panorama. Weeds, Birds, Chimneys, and Icebergs replace the traditional suits. Printed with archival inks on fine art cotton rag paper, cut, signed and numbered by the artists. This is a fine art edition, similar in feel to hand-printed decks of the 18th century, and as such is not necessarily designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. We are planning to eventually produce a commercial version that will be printed on durable stock, numbered on the front, and have matching versos, making it more suitable for poker, solitaire, and other games of chance. Extra large size 4.5” x 3.125” x 1” in a slipcase and band. Please note: The box and card backs of this deck come in a choice of two different color schemes, a floodplain edition (yellow, aqua, and brown) and a lava flow edition (black, red, and ultramarine).
