Portrait Playing Card Designs







These are a series of five playing cards consisting of the Jack, Joker, King, and two Queens. The designs where developed in a three part process. First the photographs where taken then digitally manipulated for high contrast black and white. Second those manipulations where printed, transfered to a woodblock, cut, and printed by hand. Finally the traditional prints where scanned, converged with the original photography, and digitally manipulated once more for the final result.
