My project is about storytelling - it's about Alice's continued adventures in Wonderland to be precise. Fairy tales make for a great entertaining medium, and growing up I was fascinated by them. I want to take that same love and passion we all reminisce about and put them into a deck of playing cards - the cards that come from my vision of Wonderland. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's (Charles Dodgson) original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I wanted to take this classic story further, by continuing Alice's Adventures as a young lady who earns the title - "Alice of Wonderland". My deck of playing cards, as well as my main story, has a Steampunk Wonderland theme. I am keeping the traditional de la Rue design style by only illustrating the face cards and keeping the numbered cards basic, but with a hint of Wonderland.

Why Steampunk in Wonderland? The original Wonderland story was written and set in the late 1800's Victorian era. The genre of Steampunk derives from that same era so it ties in nicely with the Wonderland theme. However, my deck of Wonderland playing cards is part of a larger picture, one that tells the story of the continuing adventures of Alice. In this more mature setting, Alice is now a young lady and the world she remembers from Wonderland has changed, everything is now Steampunk - but still Wonderland. The 4 main kingdoms of Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds, rule Wonderland. I am including Alice, the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the White Rabbit as the Joker playing cards illustrated in full pose and in the same black and white line art as the royal face cards.

The use of noble materials uncompromisingly fulfils the highest of standards in every detail of the deck, where classic design meets contemporary glamour. A timeless interpretation of a sleek and seductive deck of playing cards.

Unlike an earlier Bicycle zombie pack which offered tips on how to avoid a zombie attack, this Bicycle pack, published in 2013, simply displays full-length colourful and imaginative zombie cartoon figures on each of the 54 cards. The artist is Rob Sacchetto, a freelance illustrator, painter, and visual artist. He has worked in a variety of mediums including film, television, and comic books, and has been illustrating custom zombie portraits full-time since 2006.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on July 22, 2014 with $53,355 pledged from 756 backers, this was ultimately a set of 6 decks, some with custom cards and some tuck swaps, plus uncut sheets and varied non-deck add ons. Using the 1920s-30s mobster era as inspiration, this USPCC deck series consists of the Gold and Silver decks, later followed by limited edition Cotton Club and Stork Club decks (1,500 each) which were tuck swaps and finally the limited editions of Empire and Kingpin (1,250 each) which were fully different decks (face cards, backs and tuck). While the decks were designed, submitted and copyright 2014 they were not printed or delivered until early 2015. This PCDB Entry is for the 1,250 limited edition Bicycle branded Empire deck. They featured not only a different tuck, but custom courts, design and back as well. Like the other limited decks in this series, they also used serialized seals on the decks. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crookedkings/get-made-mob-themed-uspcc-bicycle-playing-card-dec/ Full deck scan by macstrat @ https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/355-bicycle_made_empire

Wind Signs - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius Air is the element that you cannot touch or see, but it can be mysteriously contained, like blowing up a balloon. When it is contained in this way, it somehow escapes or gets stale. Air people are free and cannot be contained or this same thing will happen to them. Air is uncertain and unpredictable, it can spawn a horrendous thunderstorm with violent winds and the pressure drops and raises by the minute.

Fire astrology signs can ignite easily too, they are very temperamental however if managed properly, they can be very beneficial. In fact, fire signs must be managed and under control in order to be of benefit
