Artist-Designed Credit Cards Edit
Epos International Limited-Edition Visa

Credit crunch? No problem—at least, that’s what Japanese bank Epos International thinks. Available through October 2009, these specially-commissioned Visa cards showcase the work of a hundred artists. There is a limit of 1,000 cards in each design available.

The project is a collaboration between Epos International, the venerable Japanese fashion store Marui Co. and design company Bleed. Designs range from graffiti to anime to, well, you name it. The one that looks like a chocolate bar is pretty clever.
