The artwork on the cards was drawn by Susan Kare, a legend in the industry starting with her work on the original Macintosh.

You can buy a set of playing cards with her original Solitaire art on the backs.

I'd heard of Susan Kare due to her work on the Mac icons but wasn't aware of this. Great fact!

Yeah, I was really tempted to get it as a gift. Pity the EU version is much more expensive, for some reason.

After shipping they cost $22 USD - that's mental for a deck of playing cards.
