Flying Dog: Edition Two
Flying Dog Edition Two continues the explosive, three-way collaboration between the curation masters at Art of Play, the Maryland-based Flying Dog Brewery and legendary satirist Ralph Steadman. Best recognized for his generation-defining artwork alongside author Hunter S. Thompson, Steadman's chaotic, ink-splatter style returns here with a completely updated presentation.
The back design elevates the familiar ink-spattered aesthetic of the First Edition by weaving the brewery's trademark bat-winged silhouette into a vibrant, stained-glass central motif surrounded by rich pops of colour. Face cards reveal a whole new curated gallery, featuring 15 classic Ralph Steadman paintings completely unique to the Second Edition. These grotesque and captivating masterpieces completely replace standard court card layouts, pairing seamlessly with hand-painted custom indexes, custom typography, and a pair of dual-personality Jokers that come complete with Steadman’s distinct signature.
