Suit Up this Friday!!

An all Australian Card Show - is this Friday!

From now until the end of the exhibition you can go in the running to
win 1 of 5 packs
of cards signed by some of the artists! All you need to do is visit www.suitupshow.com and register your details… Sweet huh?!
(International entries welcome.)

Suit Up - with the longest lead up to a group exhibition in Melbourne’s history - is almost here and we’re ready to parrrtay! 15 months of blood, sweat and tears are about to culminate in an evening of music, booze and finery. (Yes, we’re strongly encouraging people to suit up!)

To get you all a psyched for the big day we’ve released some drool worthy preview images from Sheldon Vella, Reka and Simon Childerhouse.

All artwork will be available at the show (and online) as limited edition Giclee prints and full decks of cards.


Ace of Hearts by Sheldon Vella.

King of Diamonds by Reka.

Queen of Spades by Simon Childerhouse.

Suit Up
No Vacancy Gallery
27-33 Red Cape Ln, QV, Melbourne.
Witness a spectacle of playing card finesse in a show like no other featuring nineteen Australian artists from Street Art, Comic, and Illustration backgrounds. Suit up was formed as a collaboration in the true sense of the word with four artists working together to create a theme for each suit and bringing stylistic cohesion to the deck as a whole. Each artwork is lavishly detailed and stunning in its own right, playing cards have never looked so good.

Featuring:

SPADES
Kid Zoom, Simon Childerhouse, TwoOne, Itch
HEARTS
Dylan McCrae, Karl Kwansy, Sam McKenzy, Sheldon Vella
DIAMONDS
Reka, Phibs, Meggs, Sync
CLUBS
Yok, Noir, Drew, Claudio Mantuano
JOKERS
Sean Kelly, LoungeKat

With the stylings of Nate Holmes-Trapnell

    Hey, just wanted to say this looks really awesome, and also the thing to sign up at suitupshow.com isn’t working for me.
    Definitely want a deck of those cards.

    The subscibe link should work if you retry when prompted.. cut and paste coding is often bug riddled!
