Timeless Tales that trace images in the mind that transcend the telling.

I have chosen to express 1001 Nights with a naive yet very intricate design, which is all my own. 1001 Nights celebrates the simplicity and honesty of “hand-made” objects, which are becoming increasingly rare now.

At the deepest level, these cards reflect the boundless spirit of the Arabian Nights and the never-ending bond between the Teller of Tales and the Listener.

Beloved tales brought to life with magical hand-drawn works of art.

Each playing card went through the press three times, for the character in one of the four suit colors, the card identification, and the Ferris Wheel on the back of each card. The paper is 100% cotton and the letterpress printing leaves a "bite" in the paper. It took me about 14,000 pulls on the printing press handle and three months to print the one hundred decks.

These cards were printed by me on a hand operated letterpress printing press, an Old Style Pilot Press made around 1920. I still have some of the limited edition of one hundred decks available here.
