Poker Cards | Missing Grant Series 003

Poker Cards | Missing Grant Series 003 | Queer Legacy, Boldly Played

A portrait of solitude, resilience, and untold stories—Poker Cards | Missing Grant Series 003 reclaims Grant Wood’s American Regionalism through a lens of queerness, history, and quiet defiance. This limited-edition deck presents a striking image of a lone traveler, his expression both contemplative and resolute, standing against a muted, dreamlike Midwestern landscape.

Set against the backdrop of a calm river reflecting an overcast sky, a distant car, and the open countryside, this deck transforms classic Americana into a deeply personal moment of strength, longing, and the search for belonging. Whether you are a poker enthusiast, a collector of LGBTQ+ history, or a lover of vintage artistry, this deck is a poignant tribute to those who stood at the crossroads of identity and survival, carving out their own place in a world that often refused to see them.

Symbolism & Inspiration
