Louie Mantia, Jr.

Playing Card Designer

For over ten years, I’ve been drawing icons, shapes, and symbols. Now, I’m using the principles of iconography to create playing cards.

It’s my goal with Junior to introduce beautiful interpretations of regional playing cards to all-new audiences.

In 2019 and 2020, I produced three editions of Junior Hanafuda. In 2021, I made two editions of French-suited, English pattern playing cards.
