Story:
The Brother Thelonious beer has been a remarkable success story for North Coast Brewing Company, with a percentage of sales being contributed to the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz for their Jazz education projects. Artist Eduardo Smissen’s original painting of Thelonious Monk as a Belgian Abbey Monk, complete with monk’s robes, captured the serious playfulness of the awesome talent of Monk.

For the playing cards, a border of piano keys was suggested, and Paulo Ferreira sketched and then drew the basic components (sequence of three keys on a straight line, and corner) which Whitehill then scanned and converted to vector art in Illustrator to compose the complete border.
