2000Pips Transformation Playing Cards

by

Peter Wood

Pete Wood's playing cards will probably change the way you think about playing card designs. Following the success of his Teddy Bear Transformation pack, Pete has produced another remarkable pack featuring 52 fully transformed playing cards in full colour plus 2 jokers.

Pete reveals an original and eclectic approach to playing card design, but coupled with a sound understanding of the functionality and traditions in playing cards. We see his love of the natural world, particularly the insects, flowers, fruits and garden animals, plus an endless source of imaginative arrangements, patterns and animated illustrations on every card. Highy recommended.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
