“Hey, stop looking at my cards!” isn’t an uncommon refrain heard during a friendly card game between buddies, but Custom 52’s Cycle I cards are all but designed to prevent you from sneaking a peek. The group struck on an interesting idea when they imagined using playing cards as unique vehicles for artists and their artwork, literally one pack at a a time. So after culling artists from open submissions and inviting the public to vote on which art made the final round, Custom 52 divided the winning works across the faces of a deck of playing cards. The pictures are nothing like the ones you find in your Old Maid deck; these artists hold up to their game and there’s a lot of names to be discovered here. Head over to their site to order the premiere deck, check out the full set or submit your work for the next round.
