It's STILL Duck Soup RSS

Forty years of Duck Soup Productions?  REALLY?

Shortly after the first email interview that Joan Marie at the Cult of Tarot forum kindly conducted with me, I was gearing up to release my latest Tarot Pack, the Crooked Way Tarot. Apparantly she thought this justified more blather from me, and so we had a second "email interview" exchange that appeared at the Forum shortly after. Here it is....  --------------------------------------------------- A few months ago I had a conversation with Doug Thornsjo, (a.k.a. Freder) of Duck Soup Productions as he was preparing for a re-release of two of his most popular decks, Tinker’s Damn Tarot & Mantegna. But apparently the old saying is true, there is no rest for the wicked as our old friend has so many irons in the...

Perhaps inspired by all the fun and interesting Tarot Video Blogs that I regularly watch on YouTube, I decided to try it formally on my own. A chance for the people who buy my Tarot packs to get to know the artist, that sort of thing. But as you'll see, I made a terrible host, and was summarily "dealt with" by my other, Editorial self.  Anyway. In this episode you'll see the making of one card design, and the artifact from my own collection that is featured in the design. You'll also get to know the voice behind the introductory logo that begins all my videos, and get a more extended sample of his work. Hope you like it! -- Thorn. www.tarotbyducksoup.com...

A short while back, Joan Marie -- founder and webmaster of the wonderful CULT OF TAROT FORUM (you should go there now!) interviewed me by email for the artist's section of the forum, just as it was getting started. That interview is as good an introduction to the whys and wherefores of what you will find here in the hallowed halls of DUCK SOUP PRODUCTIONS as you are likely to get.  Hope you enjoy.

Doug Thornsjo) and distributed through his wildly entertaining website, Duck Soup Productions. Freder’s...

Once in a while, when circumstances warrant, we go to the trouble of making a video about the things that we have in the works, or about how we do the things we do, or about the things or people that influence us, or just about Stuff. This is the first of those video blogs, intended to share our enthusiasm at the arrival of printed proofs for our TRICK OR TAROT pack. This happened on a rainy afternoon in 2017. Just typing that date reminds us how quickly time zooms by. Enjoy the video! --Thorn. www.tarotbyducksoup.com • www.ducksoup.me
