The Toy Machine Myles Willard City Deck (8.38") presents an intricate black-and-white cityscape illustration that gives a striking sense of depth and perspective. The hand-drawn architectural composition features an array of towering buildings that appear to stretch infinitely outward from the center of the deck, creating a surreal, almost optical illusion-like effect. The fine linework and shading details give the illusion of depth and movement, adding an immersive, almost dreamlike quality to the design. At the top of the deck, the bold "Toy Machine" logo is displayed in a distorted gothic font, while Myles Willard's name is integrated into the cityscape at the center, giving the design a personal touch.
