In 2020 I had the opportunity through my friend Ty Mattson (mattsoncreative.com) to work on a card deck for Theory11 and James Bond. The brief for this deck was not to create likenesses as I had done for Star Wars, but to evoke a card deck that we might see Bond using in one of his movies — a high-end, elaborately decorated deck with small nods to the franchise. It was a lot of fun dabbling in a style I don't normally work in. The cards were also a fun challenge — making a completely custom set of cards, while staying more true to the standard court card design than I have done on any other deck. Luke Bott from Mattson Creative also collaborated on designing 5 of the face cards. Photos are courtesy of Theory11, along with some Photoshop renders mixed in that I created myself.

SKETCHES
For defining the composition, sketches were pretty loose. Once composition was figured out, they were tightened to show the client and were fairly close to the final. A gradient overlay in Photoshop was applied to the sketch layer to make it look more finished.
