UNO continues to grow its Artiste Series with work by multi-talented visual artist Shantell Martin, marking the sixth deck of the capsule. The duo adds an artful twist to the card game with signature visuals true to Martin's aesthetic. It is defined by illustrative looks against a saturated background -- it features a fluid black line that forms a range of visuals. This includes shapes of faces sailboats, stick figures, and much more. The entire deck is available to shop beginning on September 25th.
Martin shares that "The UNO Artiste Series offers an incredible opportunity to infuse my art into one of the most iconic card games in the world. I’m honored to be part of the series and share my playful take on UNO, joining an impressive group of artists… My art is just like my life – never following a straight line – and I hope fans find comfort in the twists and turns along the way."
