Lovely Review for The Stolen Child Tarot

Morrigann just published this glowing and detailed article for the Stolen Child Tarot's Major Arcana edition. I have to go to my closet and blush for a while...

Oh yeah, and there's still 5 days left in the campaign on Kickstarter to complete the deck - if the universe wants to throw it a Hail Mary pass:

Only 2 weeks left on the Kickstarter for Stolen Child Tarot and it's at 23% funding. That's a big gap to close. If you want to see this deck come to fruition, please consider pledging or sharing the campaign!

Queen of Zephyrs

Here's the new painting for The Queen of Zephyrs!
If you've dropped by this post from Aeclectic Tarot, welcome! You may or may not know I'm currently running a Kickstarter campaign to try to expand Stolen Child to a 78 card deck.

Aeclectic Tarot feels that the forum has been abused in the past by people promoting Kickstarter or IndieGoGo art campaigns, and has banned posting links or other information about them. I totally understand them protecting the forum, but I would also like to mention that I've run two successful campaigns that included completion and delivery of all rewards within the schedules I outlined. I'm sorry if other people mismanaged projects or left people hanging -- but it wasn't me! :)

Anyway, when I have new art, I'll point people here. I would love it if you would share the campaign with your tarot friends -- it won't happen unless the campaign reaches it's funding goal by March 16th.

I'm a self employed artist. I used to work full time in animal welfare non-profit and I've been job hunting since 2010. Chasing commissions, selling online or at art shows and odd jobs is what has kept me going, along with my rainy day savings from the days of employment and selling personal possessions. I bring this up because when I say I don't have the resources to do this in my spare time, it's the plain reality of the situation.

If you've enjoyed my work or are intrigued by what you've seen of the Major Arcana, please consider supporting or sharing the new campaign to complete the deck:

Thanks so much!

Stolen Child Tarot's 2 of Zephyrs

Finished up the painting for the 2 of Zephyrs! If you haven't checked out my Kickstarter campaign to complete the Stolen Child Tarot into a 78 card deck, please do! We're at 12% funding and we need to hit our goal by March 16th to make this happen!

Goin' batty for a good cause!

Just wanted to share some happy news! I made some larger prints of The Lovers available to a fundraising campaign to help rehabilitate fruit bats struck by the recent heat wave in Australia. Probably the most heart breaking thing about this event is the number of pups it wiped out or left with heat stroke.

You can check out the campaign here: (Warning, video contains footage of heat stroke deaths as well as sweet baby bats in rehab.)

I just saw the totals from the effort, and the contribution of The Lovers prints raised $280!

This would not have been possible without Kickstarter supporters making the art for The Stolen Child Tarot happen! What a great chain reaction!

It's official! I just launched the Kickstarter campaign to expand The Stolen Child Tarot into a complete 78 card tarot!

Please, if you've enjoyed the Major Arcana work, help me share this campaign and get the word out!

Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!!!

More pencils for Stolen Child Tarot

I'm still hoping to expand The Stolen Child into a full tarot deck. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a couple pencils of minor arcana cards in the works.

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

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!
