Flying Dog: Edition One
Flying Dog Edition One represents a historic, three-way crossover bringing together Art of Play, the Flying Dog Brewery, and the legendary illustrator Ralph Steadman.
Best known for his explosive, satirical collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson, Ralph Steadman's distinctive, provocative style has defined the craft brewery's aesthetic for over two decades. This highly sought-after, limited-edition deck proudly prints his vision directly onto a premium canvas. The experience begins with the box, which is a gorgeous, letterpress-printed tuck case that immediately sets a premium tone before you even reveal the cards inside.
The cards themselves break free from traditional aesthetics to deliver a unique visual journey. The back design features an asymmetrical, ink-splattered layout anchored by the brewery's famous "Flying Dog" silhouette and framed by an elegant metallic border. Traditional face cards are replaced with a curated gallery of 18 classic Ralph Steadman paintings spread across the court cards, beautifully complemented by fully custom Jokers, custom typography and a beautifully chaotic Ace of Spades.
