The Retro Deck, illustrated by Kraig Kalashian, was originally inspired by vintage matchbox art from the 50s, the simplicity of timeless mid-century modern design, from the creators of the Woodland Deck. The design, by Joe Morelli and Pocono Modern - the Woodland Deck, is made of original art and graphic elements that come together to create a bold, striking, crisp, modern and classic new set of playing cards.
