A deck of playing cards inspired by the Wayang Shadow Puppets of the Island of Java, created by Michael Muldoon/System 6 Magic

The detail and intricacy they used to create the puppets, without making it seem overdone, was beautiful to us. In many ways we felt that style really captured the essence of this project for us and who we are.

This is their first pack to be funded through Kickstarter, view the project page for more information.
