TEN OF DIAMONDS

PLEASE NOTE: The item for sale is a 42 x 30 print backed on foam core WITHOUT the playing card number in the corners.

 The Ten of Diamonds features a three-quarter portrait of a person painted entirely black, with a large skull and crossbones covering most of their torso. Flames extend from their thighs and crotch area, painted with red and covered in gold glitter. The skull has two glowing red eyes, one on each of the person's breasts.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
