Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Elizabeth Cotton, Big Bill Broonzy, Son House, Sister Rosetta, Memphis Minnie & Odetta all play a hand in inspiring this custom deck of playing cards.
My name is Pat and I’m a designer from Melbourne, Australia and I’ve launched an illustrated deck of playing cards honouring the pioneers of the Blues. This is a project of love, combining my love of blues music with my love for design and illustration.
I started designing these cards last year, wanting to pay homage to some of the most inspiring yet underrated figures in musical history. The founding mothers and fathers of not just blues, but rock and pop as well. The recently departed Little Richard called Leadbelly “one of the foundations of music.” Not blues music. Music. Period.
In the words of the immortal Robert Johnson... "It's the last fair deal goin' down."
