Hi all! Thank you very much for purchasing Tigerbob: Elysian Garden Playing Cards. 60 items were minted (sold) over the last 188 days, and I'm very happy for the support of my work.
In an effort to reward my community, and to continue focus on new work, I have made the decision to close the mint and distribute the remaining tokens to wallets that minted and did not sell or transfer their token. Eligible wallets were shuffled and tokens were transferred today. All items have revealed!
Upon completion of this distribution, 2 cards were given for each card purchased. The tigerbob.eth wallet holds back a total of 44 cards. In total, 112 tokens were air-dropped to buyers, approximately 51% of the collection. An optional royalty of 10% has been added to the collection to continue supporting my work.

TIGERBOB: ELYSIAN GARDEN PLAYING CARDS are 216 pixel illustrations showing Gossamer's artistic interpretation of the common French-suited playing cards. Dozens of new pixel art designs are featured on each of the cards.
Four decks, or colorways, are comprised of 52 standard playing cards, one joker, and one card back, totaling 216 illustrations.
This is not a generative project. All cards are handmade by Gossamer Rozen.
Tigerbob is an artist-founded, artist-led, sustainably-conscious character, fine art, and slow fashion brand dedicated to creating clothing and objects with intention. Artwork features the signature pixel tiger head, derived from Gossamer's tattoo practice and rich illustrative style.
Founded in 2022 by Gossamer Rozen, the Tigerbob brand is represented by a collection of unique art objects ranging from limited edition knit apparel & accessories to prints, home goods, plush toys, tattoos, digital collectibles (NFTs), and more. Tigerbob has a brick-and-mortar store location in Brooklyn, NY that also doubles as Gossamer's fiber art and tattoo studio. The Tigerbob brand is recognized by The New Museum, Wanted Design, Phaidon, and more.
The Tigerbob brand aims to support Gossamer's artwork rather than extracting from it; likewise, Gossamer aims to produce a selection of high-quality art objects in line with the brand's core values of sustainability and art appreciation.
Tigerbob is focused on pixel art because of the design's ability to translate to various textile charts or graphs, like knitting and weaving pattern designs.
The card illustrations were designed first in two colors (monochrome) so that each element could also be properly knitted on Gossamer's knitting machines.
"I spent a year designing knitwear prior to this project, and all that thinking about how my pixel art could be interpreted as two-color knitting charts (intarsia designs) made this technical concept the forefront of this project, and all projects approaching my pixel art."
18 colors reflect the Tigerbob apparel line's 2025 colorways, for both Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Each card was designed to look as unique from each other as possible.

5 colors are based on the traditional colors printed on French suite playing cards: Red, blue, black, and yellow with a white background.
