Pubs are harder than homes or offices. The light changes, people stand near the walls, and anything too delicate gets ignored or damaged. The boards cope with that better than most paper-based work because the cards are real and sealed.

I have thought about this since a couple of the Fantasy pieces (the Avengers one, the Peaky Blinders deck) ended up in busier rooms. The imagery is already familiar, so people recognise it from a distance, then they come closer and see that every card is an actual card from the deck, fixed in one unrepeatable order. It gives them something to look at while they wait for a drink without needing a wall text.

The A1 size sits comfortably above a booth or along a longer wall. The plexiglas means fingerprints and the odd splash don’t reach the cards. Darker or more graphic decks tend to hold up better in lower light than the very pale ones. I don’t make the work specifically for pubs, but the ones that have gone into those spaces have not had problems.

If you run a place in London and want one strong piece rather than a row of matching prints, these stay interesting when people are standing right in front of them. The order is fixed. The cards are genuine. That seems to be what keeps people looking.
