Portfolio52 proudly presents a series of custom poker size decks of playing cards designed with a touch of oddity by Stockholm17. The Odd Fellows are a care-free crew, unbothered by the norms of "functioning members of society". Come aboard and meet a couple of supremely odd characters, each with their own blend of cards and art packaged in personality that's almost too much for your eyes to handle. This project is the first official P52-branded project created as an ode to our love of playing cards. Join our crew in a celebration of the odd and reckless.

The Uncle Tibia deck features pearlescent purple and cerulean foil across the barrel embossed case. 17 marks scratch across the top signifying the date of the launch and the number of Stockholm17. On the face of the deck is Uncle Tibia himself with a custom diecut of his skull to show a peek of what is inside.

The custom illustrated court cards feature a wildly intoxicated bunch with custom illustrations for each individual pip. The back designs are also 100% custom to each deck in the Odd Fellows series while still maintaining a cohesive design to maintain integrity throughout.

The Bicycle Civil War playing cards deck is the first collaboration between Kings Wild Project and USPCC. Only 1500 LTD Civil War Sets were produced. Each matching set comes in Confederate Red and Union Blue with matching numbered seals.

This is a really special deck to me, while it might not be my first deck, there is something about Green Glyphs that feels very true to who I am as an artist and as a person. It came to me during the winter of 2018 when I was going through another bout of physical pain and searching for solace in magical arts. I was immediately drawn to the storytelling aspects that come with reading Lenormand and the qualities it shares with Tarot.

What is a Lenormand Deck? A Lenormand deck is different than a Tarot deck. Both can be used to do readings; Tarot helps to reveal your unconscious path and focuses on the mind, while Lenormand can tell a story, describe events and offer insight into people, places and timing. Lenormand is an oracle deck comprised of a set of 36 symbols that remains the same throughout all decks. Each card has carries it's own importance in telling a story. You can read cards in pairs or triplets or in groups, but the real magic of Lenormand lies in reading all 36 cards together in what is called a Grand Tableau. It can be an exquisite tool for storytelling and will keep your creative wit fresh. This deck can be used beyond readings: it can be used to play the Game of Hope, to spark poetry or to play Green Glyphs Bingo.

The best part about Lenormand is that these symbols are intuitive and many of them you will already understand their meanings - SHIP, for example, represents a journey, an adventure or leaving home. And just as COFFIN will represent an ending, CHILD represents a beginning.

These days there are more and more Lenormand decks out there, but not a lot that I have connected with personally. And knowing I love the challenge of creating a deck of magical cards, I jumped right in.

What comes with Green Glyphs Lenormand? The deck itself is comprised of 40 cards printed on 350gsm soft touch matte paper. The cards are standard playing card size (2.5 x 3.5 inches). These cards feel amazing to the touch and the matte finish gives them that timeless appearance that I love.

The special feature of the deck is The Green Glyphs Guide - An 80 page full color guide (measuring 4 x 6.5 inches) meant to offer a brief introduction for reading your Lenormand deck. It includes an introduction that answers some of your burning questions about Lenormand and 40 pages of card meanings and example combinations followed by a section that details how to read a Grand Tableau and instructions on how to play The Game of Hope a multiplayer game that uses all 36 cards as a board game!
