In recent years, floor tiles from Roman Empire villas have been unearthed throughout the UK and Europe. Underneath the dense soil, the tile floors are remarkably well-preserved. These have become archeological spectacles that enable researchers to learn more about history. The design of the Classic Edition is left without any foil and features a weathered greenish-grey color, symbolizing the rediscovery of long-forgotten designs that hold significant historical value. The weathering effect enhances the intent of discovery and exploration.

Court Cards

Following the tradition of my creations, I use simple lines to sketch the characters. With a subtle variation of thick and thin strokes, they come to life with more personality. The clothing is not shabby, and the use of blocky color patches and gradients gives the traditional courts a classy and contemporary appearance. Although the courts maintain a traditional frame, each character has an item, a weapon, or a sleeve that extends beyond the borders. After all, margins are made for trespassing, aren't they?
