Francisco de Narváez, 2007
Promotional pack for Francisco de Narváez's election campaign in his bid to become governor of Buenos Aires Province in the 2007 elections. The court cards are based on the Spanish Catalan pattern but the same figures are repeated in each suit with changes of colour or figures facing the opposite direction. Two of the aces have been customised with Francisco de Narváez's name.
Coimexpor, 2008
This deck was produced specially for Coimexpor Argentina S.A., cigarette manufacturers, and features advertising for V8 Lights on the reverse. The crown and lion motifs from Coimexpor's crest can be seen as customisation on several cards and there is a government health warning on the four of cups.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
