Artevelo, the card sleeve brand from Movic (headquartered in Toshima, Tokyo), has announced its 5th collaborative entry — a partnership with art unit Project.C.K.
Artevelo is a coined name combining the Italian word for "art," Arte, with the word for "veil," Velo, built around the concept of "wearing art." The brand targets card game players who find character-heavy sleeves too loud but find plain sleeves too plain, proposing a casual approach to incorporating art into everyday life and offering a new option in between.
About Project.C.K.
Project.C.K. is an art unit made up of Kawasaki, who handles illustration and design, and Kenzaki, who oversees direction and design. The duo is recognized for a distinct visual world that blends a street-edge atmosphere with a punk-meets-cute sensibility. Their powerful work leaves a strong impression on viewers and has earned the unit a wide following both in Japan and abroad.

Amasugawasure

She has participated in numerous events — including an exhibition at a magical girl showcase held in Hokkaido in June — and is also recognized for her original character designs.

Watakinoshi
An illustrator with strengths in character design and goods illustration, working in a pop, subcultural style. Pieces exploring themes such as dreamy-cute, angelic, and edgy aesthetics are particularly well-regarded, rendered in a soft brushwork with a transparent color palette that draws in many fans.
Keke
An illustrator known for vivid, pop color choices and cute character designs — primarily girls and rabbit-like characters. In addition to illustration, Keke also produces animations and graphic design, with a strong fondness for yellow running through much of the work.
