COMING ATTRACTIONS

Updated May 8 2020

Announcing my NEW in-progress Deck Projects for 2020!

Hi, everyone. It has been a long time since the last update. Much has happened in the world and in my personal life since that time, and I've gotten a fair amount of work done. This update reflects only some of that. It's my hope that smaller but more frequent updates to this page will follow, as many of these decks near completion.

TAROT FOR 2020

1) Persephone's Torch Tarot

Suggested by my novel of the same name, this will be a theatrically-themed tarot, and all the cards will be oriented lengthwise, to give the sensation of watching a stage production with actors playing out the card scenes. You can click on each image and select "open in new tab" to see them at a larger size.

The Major Arcana are created in the style of vintage theatrical posters, oriented lengthwise to match the rest of the deck. This adds some variety to the deck and helps immediately distinguish the Majors from the rest. As it seems very likely that I will finish the Majors sooner than the rest, I may offer a limited Majors-Only deck in advance of the full 78-card version.

Court cards will be done as previously described, in the style of old-fashioned billboards that you used to find outside theaters and playhouses.

Finally, the Minor Arcana represent actual scenes played out on a fully-layered theatrical stage.

2) Les Tarots des Animaleries

An Edwardian-styled Tarot populated by anthropomorphic spirit animals!

Previously announced, ASTOUNDING WONDER TAROT is being postponed, probably to next year. Two Tarot projects in progress at the same time is what I aim for, and these are the ones that have "settled in" for this year.

Oracles for 2020:

1) Signs of Life Oracle

Featuring the Folk Art paintings (on wood) of Barbara Thornsjo. This deck is nearing completion, with many more finished card images that I didn't have time to upload today.
