![Calaveras [Bicycle] Card Detail Image](https://d10gxh7wbuectb.cloudfront.net/decks/700x500/559252086_front.jpg)
The first project launched by Chris Ovdiyenko of Dead on Paper in 2013. The Bicycle Calaveras were limited, hand numbered, and delivered unwrapped.
Inspired by the work of José Posada—a famous Mexican printmaker who brought this art form widespread attention. He worked at the time of the Mexican Revolution and his Calaveras really caught on—surviving to this day as iconic expressions of the holiday, the social views he held, and the times he lived through. These all-original cards and their illustrations are designed to celebrate Posada's work without being limited by it.
Printed by The United States Playing Card Company who agreed to let the artist use the Bicycle® logo from their original 1895 "Expert Back" deck. It is believed this is the first time this logo was used on a Kickstarter deck.
