ABOUT THIS DECK

My name is Jack Brutus Penny and I’m a nonsense writer, illustrator and English teacher from England, living in Japan. Founder of the publication house JBPPublishing and writer of various works including The Riddle Me Collection and In Truth Stories, I find hoopla in the playful nature of words and whimsy in their imaginative illustrating.

I am pleased to introduce my latest project - Culturae Animalis.

Culturae Animalis (the cultural animal/animal culture) is a deck of highly detailed, hand-drawn, luxury art playing cards. It is a deck of stunning art playing cards with a beautiful message of cultural respect and environmental and animal protection. The illustration work alone took over six months, with every card, including pip cards, having its own unique design, and each set of suit court cards being one continuous panoramic scene.

Most of my written and illustrated work revolves around themes of nature, wildlife and identity, and this project is no different. Each suit depicts one animal type and one culture.

The Features:

  • A full deck of luxury art playing cards
  • 52 Cards + 2 Jokers all with unique hand-drawn illustrations, most to the edge of the card
  • Poker Size (3.5" X 2.5")
  • Black core (highest quality card core) 330 gsm heavy paper with linen texture (to reduce surface contact for an easier shuffle) and with a gloss finish
  • Gold gilded edges
  • Environmentally friendly and wildlife friendly dedicated approach (see below) including special soy ink and use of 100% paper material (of which 85% is recycled)
  • Custom anti-scratch matte tuck case with hand-drawn artwork and spot gloss (spot UV) details
  • Reaching the initial funding goal will ensure a print run of 1000 decks
  • Through stretch goals to be announced as the project progresses, and through reward tiers, expect additional unique hand-drawn cards, an additional two piece luxury container box, and more
