Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
I've been wanting to share this for a while, but I wasn't sure where it belonged. I'm putting it here (as opposed to New & Custom Decks) because its not a confirmed deck yet afaik (mods, feel free to move).
Artist Riley Sheehey has been painting over a random playing card every week, with the goal of doing all 52 by the end of the year. The original painted cards usually go on sale for $550 and sell out very quickly. She has mentioned selling prints in the future, but no mention of printing a full deck of cards yet.
I'll post pictures here, but I encourage you to check the process videos on her Instagram. It's very fun to see the transformation.

Those are delightful. Hopefully she decides to print full decks of these.

Re: Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
If somebody paid $550 for that 3oH they should have saved and bought this print of hers for $75

I think this was the first of them…
Not sure if I’m ready to toss $500+ at them, but they are growing on me

Re: Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
Yeah, seems like there is no print run or quantity limitation for the prints, so Riley can periodically restock. There's plenty of her artwork available as high quality giclee prints, which is nice.

Re: Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
Good pick G
A lot to like about that one. The semi-symmetry and the fact that at first glance you might think the reverse is a reflection in water

Re: Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
The latest 7 of clubs went for $650 - going to take a pretty nice card to get me to spring for that, though they seem to go before I am aware they exist anyway

Re: Riley Sheehey's Playing Card Paintings
they are one offs, the quantity choice is just the way of the generic shopping cart
(not to be confused with “The Way of the Generic Shopping Cart”, which of course is fantastic.)
