Susan Kare Cards

Susan Kare, who famously designed the original icons for the Apple Macintosh, has teamed up with Areaware to offer real decks of cards with her artwork from Windows 3.0’s version of Solitaire. Nice example of defictionalization. They’re currently sold out but I’m hoping they restock so I can order a deck. (via subtraction)

Update: Areaware tells me that the cards aren’t out of stock, they are just not in stock yet. So don’t worry…they haven’t sold out or anything.
