Artiphany playing cards aren’t like a typical deck, which is exactly why we are so delighted by them. These cards are filled with humor and personality, courtesy of artist and founder John Littleboy’s original illustrations.
John has captured the playful, coy, and mischievous nature of cats, birds, and dogs in a way that infuses the deck with charm. Each ace through ten suit of cards tells a story that is so fun to see unfold, you might forget about the hand you’re playing.
The cat-centric Kitten Club deck stars a feline geisha, flamenco dancer and more colorful characters as the face cards, while a puppy pirate, troubadour, and king (of course) do the honors in the Pack of Dogs deck. The Flock of Birds deck features flitting hummingbirds, preening jays, gliding swans and more.
While you certainly don’t have to be a pet lover to appreciate these playing cards, a deck makes a great gift for a dog-, bird-, or cat-person—or anyone who appreciates something truly original.
