SUIT UP - Custom Playing Cards Show



No Vacancy Gallery 27-33 Red Cape Ln, QV, Melbourne. 13th to 22nd February 2009. (gallery closed on Mondays)

Witness a spectacle of playing card finesse in a show like no other featuring nineteen Australian artists from Street Art, Comic, and Illustration backgrounds. Suit up was formed as a collaboration in the true sense of the word with four artists working together to create a theme for each suit and bringing stylistic cohesion to the deck as a whole. Each artwork is lavishly detailed and stunning in its own right, playing cards have never looked so good. (Description via www.suitupshow.com)

    If you are in Melbourne, Australia, you can buy them at the art gallery at QV. The show will be ending soon, I may grab a few decks & sell them here... I may have another posting about it. We'll see.

    i would love the gorgeous deck of cards for my own to impress my friends at our next poker night.
    i'm allowed to play with them, right? or do i have to put them in plastic sleeves and not bend the corners?
    let's just say i'd put them to good use. i'm pretty sure they'd bring me luck.

    It would be hard to choose between playing with them and framing them! But mostly I think I'd have to fondle them lovingly :)

    it's extremely hard to buy cool modern art here in Poland, so it would be nice if I could have this deck in my hands, now I drool over web sites when I want to see some great art. BTW my dream is to open an art gallery in warsaw where I would promote art like that :)
