Dinosaurs playing cards feature 54 original illustrations by genre-defining artist William Stout. Steven Spielberg, Walt Disney Imagineering, and Ray Bradbury have all sought out William Stout for his singular expertise in bringing dinosaurs to life. Stout’s paleontological drawings have been showcased in museums around the world including the Smithsonian and the British Museum. Throughout his legendary career, William Stout has inspired millions with his vivid renderings of mighty pre-historic lizards and now, for the first time, his artwork is available in the form of luxury playing cards. A custom back design playfully references the traditional “rider back” aesthetic and 54 different dinosaurs (some peeking out from diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs) were drawn especially for the faces of these cards. The indices are written in Stout’s own hand. Printed in rich color on fine linen paper by the U.S. Playing Card Company, each deck of Dinosaurs comes packaged in a letterpress-printed tuck box adorned with comic book style art. A pocket-sized gallery of enormous ancient monsters lovingly rendered by an iconic illustrator.

Now, for the first time, a limited selection of his life’s work is available to a global, online audience. Each image below is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork.

A ground-breaking visual artist, inventor and author, Moscovich’s work attracted the attention of creative luminaries such as M.C. Escher and Frank Oppenheimer.

Among the mythical characters of all times there is one that stands out for his strength and its courage: HERCULES. That’s the name received in the Roman mythology for Heracles, son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and the beautiful mortal Alcmena. He is, without a doubt, the most popular of the heroes in the Greek mythology. This deck depicts the most adventurous essence of the hero with fully customized cards beautifully illustrated by Blackout Brother. The designs are focused in one of the most popular and exciting episode of Hercules’ life: the Twelve Labors. Each one of the court cards represents one of these twelve labours carried out by the daredevil, from killing the Nemean Lion and taking its skin off to capturing Cerberus, the guardian of the Avernus & taken it out from the Underworld.
