The 52 Shades of Greed card deck fundraiser has begun. It’s a joint project of Alternative Banking and a collection of 26 artists and illustrators (you can learn more about the team here).

We’re trying to raise $15,000 to pay for the printing costs and the art. If we raise more money we will try to hold an art show, with talks about the financial system by Alt Banking folk.

Here’s my favorite card, it’s Larry Summers, the king of hearts:

Note he’s a liquidity fairy (I blogged about that here). Or wait, maybe it’s Jamie Dimon, jack of clubs:

Please go to the fundraiser and donate now! You can get the cards as well as other goodies. Amazing!
