It's Happening! Stolen Child is funded and still going!

2012-02-12T13:17:00.000-08:00

So a double woot woot to everyone supporting it because apparently the second time's the charm! My project on Kickstarter, The Stolen Child Tarot reached and surpassed funding! Between working on the last bit of the art I've been hopping around the interwebs tooting it's horn and writing more Thank You notes than Jimmy Fallon. (Mine aren't as funny, sorry, but they're still very heartfelt...)
I'm still working on the last few cards and the designs for the card backs and end plates, but wanted to post some more pics up here!

Stolen Child Tarot/Kickstarter conclusion

2011-11-18T09:19:00.001-08:00

So my Kickstarter campaign to try to get the Stolen Child Tarot off the ground unfortunately did not succeed. I met a lot of great folks and truly appreciate all the help and enthusiasm of everyone who supported the project. Due to my current financial situation, I'm not able to continue with the project at this time, but hopefully in the future I'll be able to come back to it. If you would like to be added to a list to receive news about it, please drop me a line.

Thanks so much,
Monica

NEW Tarot Project! 10 days left!

So if you haven't heard me yodeling and spamming it all over Facebook, yes, I'm working on a new tarot deck! Well, sort of. I'm trying to! See, I'm running a Kickstarter project to try to fund completion and printing of a new deck. If you're curious, check it out here:

These campaigns really only make it by loads of word of mouth, so if you dig the art, won't you please tell some folks?

Here's a little more art from it!

Edgar Allen Poe miniature portrait.

Got some new shapes in pendant trays and had to play around. I said I was just going to do pets, not people, but I've been staying up watching Jeffrey Combs/Stuart Gordon horror, and they've been doing Poe, and well...

Best comment for these came from Talzhemir Mrr on facebook:

♥ It was customary in those days for small children to be raised by large bears. This greatly decreased the workload of mothers of large families but on the days before fostering bears came to visit, everyone had to catch fish and gather blueberries. ♥
