“HiddenMickeys” reveals yet another facet of Pete's many-sided creative ability. In this pack, Pete has cleverly pushed the parameters of conventional playing card design towards the unorthodox whilst achieving a high degree of originality, warmth, artistic taste and spontaneity throughout the pack. Numerous Mickey Mouse silhouettes are ingeniously disguised into the designs of the pips and illustrations, creating a curious collection of images, which in themselves are full of humour and variety.
