We’re look­ing for 52 tal­ent­ed illus­tra­tors to respond to a cre­ative brief inspired by the hit show.

To cel­e­brate the Blu-ray and DVD release of sea­son 4 of House of Cards, we’re set­ting a new cre­ative brief to cre­ate a bespoke deck of play­ing cards inspired by the hit polit­i­cal series. We’re call­ing for tal­ent­ed emerg­ing and estab­lished artists, illus­tra­tors and image mak­ers to sub­mit a sin­gle piece of work from their port­fo­lio – it can be new or exist­ing – that exem­pli­fies their skill in inter­pret­ing TV or film cul­ture into a sin­gle image.

Through these sub­mis­sions, we are look­ing for the abil­i­ty to cap­ture char­ac­ter like­ness, inter­pret a scene or express the essence of a film or TV show in a sin­gle illus­trat­ed work. Fifty-two artists will be care­ful­ly select­ed by the LWLies design team to respond to a cre­ative brief, the results of which will be pub­lished right here next month. All images must be orig­i­nal and the copy­right of the artist, illus­tra­tor or image mak­er. Sub­mit your work before mid­night on Sun­day 10 July to competitions@​tcolondon.​com using the sub­ject line ​‘House of Cards’. Good luck!
