Introducing MIKE BRODIE APOJP PHOTOGRAPHIC PLAYING CARDS
Mike Brodie is not just any photographer; he’s a bit of a legend. His debut masterpiece, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, has gone on to become a certified classic (and for good reason!).
Picture this: Brodie spent years as a hobo and train-hopper, capturing the raw essence of a youth culture that chose the thrill of the rails over the mundane grind of college and nine-to-five jobs. The result? A collection of work aptly named A PERIOD OF JUVENILE PROSPERITY—an homage to that gloriously rebellious lifestyle.
This nifty new version of his iconic book is just what you need. It’s pocket-sized, meaning you can enjoy Brodie’s genius and daydream about adventures on the open road, all while shuffling cards (talk about multitasking!).
Each playing card is adorned with a striking photograph from Brodie himself. The back design? A brilliant depiction of the relentless motion seen from a boxcar, capturing the spirit of a bygone America that’s now just a flicker in the rear-view mirror. Misguided youth or affluent misfits? You’ll have to decide that for yourself once you step into Mike Brodie’s world.
The tuck box is a sight to behold, featuring a wraparound image handpicked by Fulton and Brodie, with the BRODIE name embossed in royal gold foil (because why not add a touch of class?).
It’s been an absolute pleasure to bring this fascinating twist on one of my favourite modern photographers to life.
