the JOKER
♠ ♥ ♦ ♣
The luxury deck Dog Kingdom is illustrated with elegant dogs and birds, developed with the technique of classic aquarelle. It contains the standard 52 cards and two additional Jokers.
The joker or the fool, is a mysterious figure in this game. In Tarot cards, it symbolizes every end and every beginning that contains the complex journey of life. It is a "wild" card and can be both the strongest and the weakest in various games. The card was originally introduced around 1860 for games in which it was used as the tallest trump card.
The jokers in the Dog Kingdom deck are two, almost identical Italian greyhounds, with barely noticeable differences. It is as if an image divided by its madness is on both cards. Following the examples of the old classic playing cards, the colors I have chosen are a combination of red with yellow and black with yellow. Red and black are the two key colors used in the card game.
