Illustrated villains

Pretty pack

How about a game of poker? Let’s play with the most beautiful cards I’ve seen in a long time, these “Illustrated Villains“. A pack of cards designed and illustrated by 4 artists who joined hands on this project as a result of their strong connection with Barcelona.

The white gloved thief – Irene Vidal Sarmiento

Each of the 4 artists designed one of the 4 suits in their own unique style, resulting in an interesting collection of illustrated cards which tell 4 different stories.

The black widow – Adriana Bellet

Lovely, aren’t they? There is the suit of the White gloved Thief, the suit of the Black Widow, and the one of the Gentleman Wolf…

The gentleman wolf – Gloria Joven

Jokers

… of course there is also a set of Jokers – how else could you play poker?! – and the fourth is a suit dedicated to a sexy Mermaid and the mariner who died for her love.
