Playing Cards "Baltic Mythical Creatures" is my personal project to illustrate standard playing cards with Baltic gods, goddesses and other mythical creatures. The set of cards contains 20 illustrations. All of them are my personal interpretation of Mythical Baltic creatures, which is based on a variety of written and visual material. Card signs represent one of the four spheres the mythical creature belongs to: skies, water, air or earth. Names of the mythical creatures are displayed on the cards in Lithuanian and English.
The box also contains English and Lithuanian descriptions of the creatures, so you will have a chance to learn more about Sea God VĖJOPATIS /veˈyopatɪs/, mysterious Pixies and wickedness of Baltic Devil.

The set of cards contains 61 card:
56 playing cards (there are 4 joker cards in the set),
4 cards with descriptions of the mythical creatures,
1 card with my logo and contacts.
These look pretty ducking awesome :o I really like them, I think I might buy one.

Sold here for 20 € per deck + 5,43 € shipping cost (to Finland, not sure about other countries). Shipping is from Lithuania.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a penguin. Have you ever met a sad person with a penguin?

Are lobsters mermaids to scorpions?
