Category: Playing Cards

A deck of hand-drawn art playing cards that explore space through the eyes of medieval astronomy. Printed by KingStar, the whimsically illustrated cards interact and cosmos explodes with invisible ink.

Follow the medieval England/European inspired Coney rabbits. A young wistful scribe, trying to distract his strict cleric, questions their scripture and what the heavenly cosmos truly is.

First funded on Kickstarter, this project was an experimental venture created with Jack Brutus Penny’s Patreon community. Believing strongly in collaboration and the journey of creation, invisible UV ink depicts child-like visions of life in the stars as drawn by Jack’s son Arthur and the children of his Patreon members.

Thomas ★★★★★

The invisible ink reveal on the constellation cards genuinely surprised me — I didn't notice anything until I tilted the deck under a lamp and the cosmos just bloomed across the artwork. The hand-drawn medieval astronomy details hold up too, every pip feels deliberate.

Ellie Z. ★★★★★

The illustrations are like peering through a medieval telescope—each card feels like a tiny illuminated manuscript come to life. I found myself flipping through the whole deck just to admire the cosmic details, and the hidden ink adds a fun little surprise when the light hits it right.

Sofia F. ★★★★★

The invisible ink on these cards is a brilliant touch—each time I use a blacklight, new constellations appear. The hand-drawn medieval style gives every card a unique, whimsical feel that my game nights have never had before.
