GoFishFriday is a unique deck of playing cards designed and created in an offbeat and quirky horror-punk style by Catch Phrase Dan

2015 United Kingdom Daniel Campbell Punk

Daniel Campbell (aka "Catch Phrase Dan") is a UK artist who amongst other things likes drawing and going fishing. His playing cards reveal his talent for innovation and resourcefulness and clearly he is fascinated by whacky ideas or objects. This pack of poker size playing cards, offering a playful approach to the horror-punk theme, comes in four alternate box designs, and is just one instance of Dan’s wide range of cultural interests, as can be seen in his online shop
