This project started as a personal graphic design challenge: how does one design a deck of individual cards that reads as a single set while maintaining the universal language of playing cards? The outcome was a handmade deck of 54 ink illustrations of fractal animals. The deck is organized into two classes of animals; mammals and horned mammals, where each animal has a mirrored version of itself in a red and black suit. As the cards increase through the traditional hierarchy, so do the chosen animals.
