Iâve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.
I have a long way to go, but Iâm nearly done with the major arcana.
Here are some of my favorites:
I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.
And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.
But thereâs still a lot of variety coming through. Itâs not all class, or all silliness - just like cats
I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one âď¸
Iâm so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.
And then thereâs this one absolute diva:
Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.
There are more but I donât know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.
Hey guys⌠I finished it. All 78 cards.
Much more to come soon!
