Invocation Copper Playing Cards by Kings Wild Project

The inspiration for this project was interesting. Many of my decks in the past have focused around a specific theme or moment in history. So I have always had historical characters to feature on my decks depending on the theme. For this project, the beginnings were a little different. Often between projects, I'll spend a few days just gathering references and dumping tons of beautiful art images and other things I can find inspiration on. While I was looking for creative direction for a new project, a song started playing on my playlist that really grabbed my attention. My wife sometimes calls me a nerd in my choice of music. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, but when I'm working, I seem to find the biggest focus when listening to instrumental music from movies, games and other media types. This song captivated me and was the catalyst for the whole project. I put it repeated and listened all day while creating a completely new set of cutting cards from the images of what I would describe as a blend of science fiction and fantasy. The designs that took place throughout the day have been promising to me, and most are very different from any of my previous works. The title of the deck was actually derived from the title of the song that arouse him, Summon.
