“When I paint a person, I have to paint his life.”Vincent Van Gogh

Tuck Case
梵高一生中並沒留下很多相片，卻繪畫了四十多幅不同風格的作品，他說這些畫作和自畫像足以記錄他的一生。
正面印有經典的梵高自畫像。 純白色背景襯托出筆觸和豐富的色彩，就如看著真跡作品一樣，與梵高四目交投。背面則是名作《星月夜》。
與眾不同的新設計以三個元素的平衡見稱︰留白的空間、鮮艷的色彩和油畫的質感，華麗不單調。

Back Design
卡背與外盒一致地展示著梵高的名作《星月夜》。迷人的筆觸帶有強烈的節奏感，色彩順勢而流有如暗湧。別具一格的繪畫手法和分層構圖，為作品增添獨特的藝術魔力。
撲克牌設計師重製了這幅曠世巨作，保留了原始的動態筆觸和令人驚嘆的配色。並將畫作主體元素細節垂直重覆，使繁星點點的夜空在玩家的手中展開，令人讚嘆。

Face Design
The designer took the liberty to paint the people and places Van Gogh has experienced in his short lifetime. A proper tribute to the designer's favourite artist!

Jack of Spades:An unknown art dealer who bought Van Gogh's portrait. It was a great encouragement for Van Gogh at that time.
Jack of Hearts:Armand Roulin, an acquaintance from the end of Van Gogh's life. He sent the final letter to Van Gogh's brother Theo.
Jack of Diamonds:Eugene Bosch, brother of Anna Bosch, the buyer of the "Vineyard" painting, also an artist.
Jack of Clubs:Postman Roulin, a friend of Van Gogh, looks rough on the outside but is kind and delicate inside.
Queen of Spades:Mrs. Tanguy, the wife of Mr. Tanguy, a gentlewoman who treated Van Gogh very kindly.
Queen of Hearts: La Mousmé, a French-Japanese geisha imagined by Van Gogh, depicting his ideal of femineity.
Queen of Diamonds:Mrs. Ginoux, the owner of the café depicted in Van Gogh's painting "The Night Café".
Queen of Clubs:An anonymous young woman, a woman from the middle class, who was introduced by a painting dealer and commissioned Van Gogh for her portrait
King of spade:Mr. Ginoux, a kind old man who loved art and was willing to sell painting materials to Van Gogh with a discount.
King of Hearts:Felix Rey, a doctor who helped Van Gogh treat his wounds after cutting his ears.
King of Diamonds:Madame Trabuc, Van Gogh's model at the Saint Paul's Hospital, with gentle suffering in her elegant face
King of Clubs:Milliet, Van Gogh's friend - military officer, who was very happy to model for Van Gogh
Joker︰The two Jokers are both self-portraits of Van Gogh, one from the front, and one looking over his shoulder. The colours of these cards are striking as if to depict the passion of the artist.
