Simian Playing Cards
-Now available: Simian Playing Cards from ChetArt-
New from ChetArt—it’s no ordinary deck of cards! Presenting a collection of lively monkey and ape characters exhibiting a vast range of professions and historical simian significance. The plastic coated, casino quality, standard poker deck is enclosed in a decorative tuck box. The custom designed card back has a distinctive monkey flavor. Each of the 54 cards (includes 2 jokers) has its own individual monkey portrait. Many of these figures will be included in the upcoming “Monkopolis” limited edition book. Perfect for playing card collectors, game players and simian aficionados.
With characters like Baron Andrew Oolong the Ghost Hunter, François Hyperbarique the Sub-Aether Explorer, Major Manny Minuscule the Micro Militiaman and Captain Uther Wigglesgig the Zombie Whisperer, playing card games has never been more monkey-licious.
Custom art card back and a selection of cards fanned. (Click images to enlarge.)
Here’s a sneak peek preview of the card set.

ChetArt in “Ender’s Game” set
Yesterday I stumbled across a Facebook post from Tor Books about an Ender’s Game blog hosted by the producers of the film. Above is a shot from the blog showing the set design of Ender’s room. Despite the small photo, I can see they’ve included at least 4 of my images from 6 they purchased for use in the set design. Ender’s Game IMDb Link
