2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Tuck'

This is the second collaborative release between Native Tongue Studio and Doc's Playing Card Co. The concept of this deck has gone through several iterations. What was originally a NOD to bad luck at the poker table it soon turned into a picture board of people having their own tough luck. From Wild Bill's "dead man's hand" to being attacked by bees, each court is different.

The back design is complements the faces with a repeating skull pattern.

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Back Design', 'Best Rookie Deck'

Custom playing cards created for Meadowlark Pharmacy in Lincoln, Nebraska. Featuring original artwork by Russell Gray. Packaged inside a premium foil-printed tuck box.

Sustainably-produced using FSC certified paper and vegetable-based inks on our trademark thin-stock and finish. Printed by the United States Playing Card Co.

QUICK OVERVIEW: Copper foil on a black paper stock with the yellow and white as the accent colors. Inside will be a yellow gilded deck! We are doing our best to match the yellow from the deck with the gilding, so it might be more of a yellow gold to make sure that it is shiny. However in the end the gilding has ended up being copper like the tuck

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Joker'

Sovereign is a homage to some of the most well-known Kings and Queens of the greatest European empires of all times. Sovereign reimagines the courts of a standard deck with illustrations that are gorgeous and colorful, with intricate details.

Sovereign, a person who has supreme power or authority...

This campaign is my attempt to represent Sovereign, which is defined as:

Having supreme rank, power, or authority - supreme; preeminent; indisputable - greatest in degree; utmost or extreme - being above all others in character, importance, excellence.

Each one of the historical kings and queens depicted in this deck are a shadow of what true sovereignty is meant to be. Each one was flawed like us all, but were seen as divinely anointed. The kings and queens were honored as divinity its self. Birth right and elevation, great responsibility and power.

You can either decide to take the design at its cover (and don’t get us wrong, it is beautiful), or you can allow yourself to be drawn closer, and spend some time discovering the plethora of hidden details lurking in the corners of the illustrations. In fact, there are different forms of the devil’s outline scattered around the faces of the decks, and it requires some close inspection to reveal them. You can say that the Devil is in the details, but the closer you look, the less you see…

Black Ink Branded store - Stone Garden

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Joker'

The Stone Garden Deck is intricate in detail, and elegant in execution. Inspired by the beautiful gargoyle stone work from medieval times. Their two main purposes were to scare off evil, and to divert rainwater.

It is believed the Catholic Church originally used gargoyle statues as a visual reminder to their Pagan converts, many of whom were illiterate. They were something of a "sermon in stone", or a warning of sorts to teach the people how to behave in a non-written way.

Intricately designed by Jody Eklund and printed with precision by Legends Playing Card Co. 54 custom playing cards.

The Tuck Case has Gold Hot Foil Stamping
