How To Deal With The Black Ink Tarot Being An Inscrutable Saucy-Brat

Welp, here’s one for the paranormal conspiracy theorists. Aaaand this is awkward….

I’ve been receiving some highly entertaining feedback from the community of people working with the Black Ink Tarot deck. Some have had a rather challenging time getting this deck to make sense ever, exempting its favorite forms of expression to date: poignant shadow-work, saucy riddles, and deathy death jokes....

Here's the scoop and what to do about it.

Enough

It's the end of an era here at Interrobang Tarot, and time to wrap up this adventure. This post tells the story behind the last ten years here, and why I did this, despite what it cost.

Sadly, my platform got irreparably harmed by the algorithm suppression that buried queer content makers and visual artists, as our portfolios were stolen to train AI. In the post-AI landscape, this work is no longer viable.

I need to start over with new projects, and I've got some exciting ones lined up! But tarot has lost its place in the rotation after the behaviors and chronic artist exploitation I've witnessed in this community over the years.

I deeply appreciate those of you who supported this work over the years and received it respectfully!

I'll continue to sell my completed works in tarot but won't be making new ones. I hope you'll enjoy the next act to come!
I'll be back this summer with something new...
