These cards were a gift to my Dad for his birthday since he plays card games with his friends. While he doesn’t use them (for fear of damaging them), they’re precious to both of us regardless. After making them, I carried my own set in my bag for weeks just so I could admire them periodically. The set was a step away from my messier, more emotional illustrative style, and a step into clean, repeating designs. It stretched my creative capabilities, yet showed me I could try new things and take on larger projects. This was transformative.
