ellenmillionI have always, always wanted to do my own tarot deck, but I knew that I couldn't do 78 polished pieces any time this decade. Or possibly next decade.
But this month, I sat down and did a few sketch cards for the 78 Tarot Kickstarter... and thought "I can do this..."
These are simple ink sketches, not too involved, though I am careful about incorporating some traditional tarot symbolism and ideas. Each one is 2.5 x 3.5 inches, archival ink on acid-free bristol art cards with rounded corners. And they are available for sponsorship!
Early Adopter Pricing - good until December 31!
(This is a soft launch - it's not a secret project at this point, but I'm not going to be pushing it until early 2015... when all the pricing will go up significantly.)
If you have a personal card you'd like to own the original for - and maybe even dictate your vision! - you may sponsor that card for $50. That nets you a copy of the final deck, AND your original card. Add to cart
A sponsorship of $40 or more will get you a random original* and a copy of the final deck Add to cart
A sponsorship of $30 or more will get you a copy of the final deck. Add to cart
A sponsorship of $10 or more will get you a random draw* - you'll get a printed copy of a card I draw from the deck for you. I will sign your card. Add to cart
A sponsorship of any level will get you a pdf of the final deck that you can print (and color?) for your own personal use. Add to cart
*Random draws will be of fully illustrated cards - if we don't make the stretch goal of illustrating the minor arcana, I won't send one of those!
Stretch goals (not set yet) will include fully-illustrated minor arcana, printed tuck boxes for the decks, a booklet of meanings, and other goodies.
00 The Fool - available! (finished)
01 The Magician - available! (finished)
02 The High Priestess - available! (finished)
03 The Empress - available! (finished)
04 The Emperor - available! (finished)
05 The Heirophant - available! (sketched)
06 The Lovers - available (finished)
07 The Chariot - available (sketched)
18 The moon - SOLD
All other major arcana and face cards available for claiming! If you claim a card before I sketch it, you may make suggestions about specific things you'd like to see on your card. (Minor arcana will be simple counting cards unless we make stretch goals...)
Please note that it may take me as much as a year to complete the Sketch Tarot project. I am sure it will go faster than that - but I like wiggle room. Check back for updates!
