You walk into the big hall of the Grand Hotel, and immediately you're surrounded by a jolly crowd, dancing and singing to the cheerful music, rich with the tones of a saxophone. The air is full of the intoxicating smell of perfumes, sound of clinking champagne glasses, the crystal chandeliers, and the glistening of shiny attires worn by the cheering group of young party-goers. That is exactly the atmosphere of The Grand Playing cards, made in two dazzling versions inspired by the shiny world of the Great Gatsby: The Golden Glamour and The Silver Allure. Grab a glass of champagne, and get lost in the dancing world of the ’20s.

Black Ink Branded store - Stone Garden v2

“A shroud of mist rolls across the courtyard, yet the statues stare into the fog as if their gaze will penetrate it, while wings are taught, and fangs barred to warn those who would dare to invade this holy place. It is believed that no spirit foul or fiendish dare approach this sacred ground, for under strict protection lie all who pass beneath the grotesque and gruesome gargoyles who stand sentry. The lives of all within these walls are safe from demonic descent or even the downfall of a destructive deluge, for the astute gargoyles will defer either attack away from this hallowed sanctuary and bid them return from whence they came.”

Stone Garden is a uniquely designed custom deck of playing cards that exalts the gothic gargoyle; statues and architectural adornments whose purpose lay in the protection of the individuals within Medieval Churches. Created by Jody Eklund, Stone Garden captures, the style of this by-gone age, with the striking reflectivity of double-sided full-foil printing.

This technique, uncommon to playing cards, highlights the perfect detail within the art. Additionally these images are brought to life through sculpted embossing which brings an elegance to the deck worthy of these noble protectors sculpted upon medieval roofs and buttresses.

The legend of Atlantis has mystified many people, starting from Greek philosophers to conspiracy theorists nowadays. Our designer Pedro Oyarbide was no different and decided to pay tribute to this magnificent legend by creating a new deck in two versions. One of them, called the Rise Edition, shows Atlantis in its full bloom, shortly before its disappearance. The second one, Sink Edition, shows the city as we imagine it now, resting forever in the depths of the sea.

Set sail to a world uncharted and become a dweller of the open seas with Piracy Playing Cards. Secrets and lost treasures wait to be discovered - will you embark on the journey?

Piracy Playing Cards were produced using a dual-foil printing process - featuring both gold AND gunmetal silver foil on the backs and faces, with extreme detail and precision. The design as a result is absolutely stunning - a lost treasure that’s finally been discovered.

Every aspect of Piracy Playing Cards were designed from scratch, featuring fully custom fonts, suits, Jokers, Court Cards, and Aces dripped in gold and silver foil. Inspired by the mysteries of the deep sea and the guardians that protect lost treasures, you’ll be transported to a new world every time they’re held in your hands.

For this project, the beginnings were a little bit different. Many times between projects I will spend a few days just gathering reference and pouring over tons of beautiful images of art and other things that I might find inspiration from.

As I was searching for a creative direction for a new project, a song began to play on my playlist that really caught my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all types of music but when I am working I seem to find the most focus listening to instrumental music from cinema, games, and other types of media.

This song captivated me, and it was the catalyst for the entire project. I put it on repeat and listened to it to all day while creating a completely new set of court cards from the images of, what I would describe as a mixture of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. The designs that transpired over the course of the day were promising to me, and most of very different from any of my previous work.

The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that sparked it, Invocation.

The Platinum Edition decks are printed by Cartamundi on the B9 Linen Finish with Silver Cold Foil on both the back and faces of the cards.

The deck is packaged in a beautiful letterpressed tuck case by Clover St Press and features hot foil stamped with Silver and Black Foil. Embossed to enhance the look and feel of the tuck case.
