Nordic gods go playing cards







I got a deck of Icelandair's new inflight playing cards in my hands. I had seen them in pictures before and they sure look extremely beautiful in real life too. The cards picture twelve Nordic pagan gods from the Viking age. I love the clean and yet traditional illustration style, which reminds me of Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela's Kalevala illustrations.
