We bought this deck in Germany, not because we're particularly fond of big boobs, but because we liked the artwork. That's the reason why we googled the artist's name. When we found his website, we asked the artist about this deck. It's a pity that we haven't had an answer yet. But as there's no deck of cards advertised on his website and because the deck was printed on flimsy, see-through, card, we suspect that this is a rogue edition, probably made in some Eastern-European country. According to the box it was produced and copyrighted by Alex MAK Productions, but the only companies, that Google came up with, don't seem to have anything to do with this publication, judging by the nature of their business. |

When we
visited the website of Victor Rinaldi (see http://rinaldi-art.com)
it only took a glance to find most of the original artwork which was
used for this deck. Some of them have been -probably digitally- slightly
altered; a background colour was turned into white or a text has been
removed, as illustrated here. Victor Rinaldi wouldn't be the first
artist, whose artwork is illegally used to make a rogue deck: see page 9
in this xpo. At least Don Henderson was already aware of the existence
of such a deck. We copied one of Victor's artworks to illustrate here
how easy it is to copy artwork, found on the internet, and use it to create and
publish a deck. So....artists BEWARE! |
