The Poker Series depicts 52 individual cards focusing around a centralized theme for each suit.
The suit of spades embraces imagery and iconography from hell and purgatory. Each card is a two-color print and contains the numeric equivalent of suit symbols in the image (i.e. the 8 of spades contains 8 spade symbols). The face cards (J,Q,K,A) only contain one of the suit symbols. Also, featured at the end of this portfolio, exists an example of a full-color card, hand painted for a specific edition.
