Designers, Classic Playing-Card Maker Win Big on Kickstarter

February 7th - via: wired.com
Aspiring artists have customarily emphasized canvas and poster to display their talents, while co-opting the t-shirt as a medium starting in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, a new batch of designers are turning to a more venerable channel as an artistic outlet — the traditional deck of playing cards. (Read More)
