Paws, Petals & Possibilities Art Collage Playing Cards

Bring nearly seven years of creativity to your next card game with the Paws, Petals & Possibilities Playing Cards, featuring my art collage celebrating artwork I created from October 2019 through July 2026.

Paws, Petals & Possibilities combines artwork from many different periods of my creative journey into one detailed composition. Dogs and flowers are especially prominent throughout the collage, alongside landscapes, fantasy artwork, characters, family-history illustrations, abstract pieces, art challenge creations, and other artistic experiments.

The individual artworks represented in the collage were created using a variety of traditional and digital media, including Procreate, watercolor, acrylic, India ink, colored pencil, charcoal, alcohol marker, fineliner pen, and mixed media. After creating the individual pieces, I brought them together digitally in GIMP to assemble the finished collage.

The collage even contains a few pieces that I never previously uploaded online, primarily artwork I created for Dogust 2024.

Now, Paws, Petals & Possibilities has been transformed into a deck of playing cards, combining a functional game-night staple with a retrospective of my artistic journey. Whether you're playing a favorite card game, adding the deck to your collection, or giving it to an art or dog lover, the design brings a piece of The Artistic Shepherd to the card table.

From Art Collage to Card Deck

Playing cards are an especially fun way to showcase Paws, Petals & Possibilities. The collage itself is made from many individual pieces coming together to form something larger, while a deck similarly brings individual cards together to create countless different games and possibilities.

 

That connection makes the “Possibilities” portion of the artwork's title particularly fitting for this product—shuffle the deck, deal the cards, and see what possibilities come next!

A lively, collectible deck that turns every game night into a colorful conversation starter. These poker-sized playing cards bring bold, crisp artwork to your hands — vivid backs packed with playful characters and scenes, paired with classic, easy-to-read faces. The cards shuffle smoothly and deal silently thanks to the heavy 300gsm coated cardstock, and they arrive protected in a clear acrylic box so the art stays bright between uses. Pull them out for casual poker, magic tricks, or as a cheerful addition to game evenings and gatherings where laughter and stories matter.
