Whispering Imps Playing Cards

Here's a nice review of the Whispering Imps playing cards that I illustrated for my friend, Chris Chelko. The video explains Chris' vision for the deck and it's ties to famed Magician Harry Kellar. Enjoy!
UnitedCardists.com voted the Whispering Imps™ 2nd Best Deck of 2013 including Best Tuck Box, Best Gaff Card, & Best Deck for Magic! 
Exclusive limited edition red box.
Finished art done with ink on scratchboard.
Initial sketches for Imps. Note the stacked imps that became the joker and the one on the lower right corner who ended up on the box design.
Some border designs and ideas for the Whispering Imps logo. The pair of imps on the right were incorporated into the ace design.
Preliminary card back designs. Initially, I was working in a little cameo of Harry Kellar which ultimately was replaced with more Imps.
