LATEST PROJECT
THE CARDINAL POINTS DECK
A deck of playing cards collaged of maps from overseas adventrures, backyard birds of the Southeast, clacked words from a vintage Underwood typewriter, and lines from The Phantom Tollbooth.
Back side of the deck features playful and poeticized anagrams of:
playing cards by tesauro
build racy pagan oysters / pains clergy you bastard / cry sin deploy rutabagas / god runs a spicy betrayal / grand suitors play by ace / dares baring a lusty copy / you spy cabaret darlings / aptly gay cobra sundries / inescapably rad rug toys / carbonated girls say yup
Designed not merely for those who dig playing cards, the Cardinal Points Deck is a splendid gift for enthusiasts of birds, maps, travel, literature, poetry, objet d’art, collectibles, and handmade things.
