Hook-Ups Barrel of a Gun Blood Splatter Foil Playing Cards

A cult skate graphic meets an appropriately brutal playing card treatment in the Hook-Ups Barrel of a Gun Blood Splatter Foil Playing Cards.

The deck centres on the iconic “Barrel of a Gun” character, an image associated with Jeremy Klein’s Hook-Ups Skateboards for close to three decades. The distinctive anime-influenced character artwork is given an even more dramatic treatment for this edition, surrounded by vivid blood-splatter detailing across the otherwise clean white tuck.

What makes this release particularly special is the use of metallic red hot foil. The blood-red foil appears on both the card backs and tuck box, catching the light as the cards move and giving the splatter effect considerably more impact than conventional printed ink.

Produced in China on premium cardistry stock, the deck is made to handle as well as it displays, making it an interesting crossover piece for cardists as well as fans of skateboarding, street culture and Hook-Ups artwork.

Production was restricted to just 500 decks
