Up-and-coming designer and illustrator Connie Lim has taken to Kickstarter to fund her latest project, a 54-card pack of playing cards stuffed full of beautiful fashion-inspired illustrations.
Each image was creating using materials like gouache, micron pens, ink and watercolor, themed around the artist’s unique feelings on how a particular suit or number should look. We particularly love the rock ‘n’ roll two of Hearts girls, and the masked Ace of Spades.
If you like the look of what you see, head over to Kickstarter and contribute for your chance to get a Decked Out: Fashion Playing Cards pack!
