The project was a game cover redesign and I decided to use it an an opportunity to pay homage to those iconic Polish artists and Polish visual culture, which continues to influence me as an illustrator.
In order of appearance:
King of Hearts Jan Matejko with a Wild Rose
King of Hearts Jan Matejko with a Wild Rose
King of Diamonds Jacek Malczewski with a Poppy Flower
King of Clubs Wojciech Kossak with a Pansy
King of Spades Stanisław Wyspiański with a Centaurea (Polish: chaber)
"A Set of Kings" was a challenging exercise in stylistic consistency, use of pattern and composition.
