COVERT CARDS:
WEAPONS OF THE COLD WAR

Playing cards, art & booklets

This project brings together my interests in Cold War history, the prototype guns and other odd gadgets made by the Warsaw Pact and NATO nations in that era, and—of course—playing cards! The world of Cold War-era technology is wacky and vast, and this unique project has given me the opportunity to display some of the unusual and iconic designs that both Western and Eastern forces were developing and using during the conflict.
