Shuffle The Deck
54 Wisconsin and northern Illinois artists have created original works for the Art of the Draw I playing cards.  Each artist was challenged to design a piece of artwork that incorporated the suit of a particular card.
 
Artwork for the card backs and the tuck box, as well as design/layout work for this product, was provided by Joshua Frazer.

Art of the Draw 2 Playing Cards
Southport Press is releasing Art of the Draw 2 on Saturday, December 10.  Like Art of the Draw I, 54 local and regional artists have created original visual work that has been reproduced onto quality playing cards.
The card deck is functional for playing, but may also be appreciated for the interpretations that artists took in representing the Queen of Hearts, the Six of Diamonds, the Jack of Clubs, and, of course, the Joker.
 
Many new artists contributed to Art of the Draw 2, making it an excellent gift for yourself and for others.
 
Cards shall be on sale through Southport Press' distributors in Kenosha and Racine, WI.  They will be released on Saturday, December 10 at a release party to be held at ArtWorks, 5002 7th Avenue from 6-9 PM.
