Artist and illustrator Chet Phillips recently introduced a “fetching” deck of playing cards that all dog and animal lovers will want to get their hands on. In Phillips’ deck, the standard faces of the cards were swapped for whimsical and creative illustrations of dogs posing as famous people.
Each of the 52 cards in the deck features a unique illustration and comes with amusing names that will make you like them even more. The dogs featured on the faces of the cards include Labrador Dali, Edgar Allan Pug, Jane Pawsten, William Shakespaw, The Beagles, Elvis Pupsley, Bark Gable, and many more.
As you might guess, the process of creating this kind of deck was all but easy as Phillips wanted to make sure that the dogs represented in the illustrations have characteristics similar to the famous person they were posing as.
“First starting with my personal favorite authors and many that stand as icons of writing, I worked out puns for their names that included something dog-centric. Then the challenge was to choose a dog breed and expression that might reflect some of the facial and hair characteristics of the writer,” Phillips shared in a recent chat with Bored Panda.
This unique deck is available through Phillips’s Etsy shop. You can also get a detailed look at it by scrolling below.
