54 Intercontinental Cuties is a real playable deck of cards, with a unique pinup girl on each face representing a different country. The girly art was done by myself, Josh Cooley (visit cooleycooley.com, or don't, what do I care) and the Modern day Master of the Pinup, Bill Presing.
Bill asked me if I'd like to join him on this lil' project, which is like if you were a baseball fan...having Babe Ruth come up to you and ask if you want to draw a deck of girlie playing cards. So I said "uh...maybe". And we did. The cards will be ready in time for Comic-Con, and available on both of our blogs for sale.
So here's some rough ruffs from the card set. And before you send an angry email explaining to me that "Texas is not a country"... know that I just found that out. (Thank you Wikipedia) What can I say I'm a product of the California public school system.
More to Come!

These are great! :)
Nice! That Texas Queen is indeed great. Reminds me a bit of Slue Foot Sue from Pecos Bill. Awesome work

Just subscribed to your blog today at Bill's recommendation. Amazing work and I look forward to getting the full deck! :)

"With this deck of queens, you'll be guaranteed 5 of a kind AND a royal flush in every hand!"
Oh weird, I just checked up on my dashboard to take a break from roughing out some pinups for Sketch Tuesday and saw this post. I can't wait to see and buy the finished deck. Make Gilby Elvgren proud. That's right, I said Gilby. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Josh these are amazing, thank you for showing us. I hope you will show us the rest of rough drawings, since when we buy them they will all be finished designs.
Thank you
Tim
Fantastic stuff!
What company are you going thru to get these made?
You could always make "Texas" a USA pin up instead. I've heard of stereo typing of the US is cowboys and everyone riding on horses... although, that stereotype might be a little outdated these days...!
I don't know, maybe I just like the girl.
Those are some cool cards. Though I challenge the accuracy of the Irish one!
I think Cuba's my favorite, she's got a lot of spunk to her ;D
One thing about the north pole; I think penguins are exclusive to the south and polar bears to the north, at least if I remember correctly =P
I am a big Formula One fan so my fave is Monaco, natch. The F1 car dashing into the tunnel is very slick.

and the North Pole has polar bears, no penguins. :)
Great set, will definately keep my eyes peeled- I agree, you could rework the Texas into a USA. The academic in me also fusses over the north pole- that's not a country either. Although technically, the north pole is in Canada, you could rework it that way? There's lots of beaver innuendo there too <3 Either way, i'd love to see a canada card!
cuba is smokin' hot...
Cuba's My fav, no doubt... :P
The Turkish girl is pretty!
