Deck In Progress: Hermit to Hanged Man

10/26/2015

Hey my loves! If you follow me on Instagram or Tumblr, you know Interrobang Tarot has been on pause, waiting for a computer cable which has finally arrived. While my laptop was down, I caught up on my analog illustration. It's been a fruitful couple weeks. Here are the next four cards of the Spirit Vertigo deck:

I'm excited about this batch. It feels like the deck is starting to click. I'm following a stream-of-consciousness process with this project, and blogging as I go. Rather than sketching the deck out in advance, I'm working one image at a time, and seeing where each card leads me. I can't promise that any of the images I've posted so far will be the final, published cards. In fact, I know I'll be redoing at least four of the ones you've already seen. These four feel really good to me, though. I'm falling into a nice groove, and looking forward to seeing what comes next.

I can tell you that the final versions will still be black and white, the printed cards won't be watermarked, and some of the cards I've posted so far will make it into the final batch. Let me know what you think in the comments!

I tend to have favourite cards by which the rest of the deck... One of these is The Hermit - I ADORE your interpretation!! This to me is THE image of a happy hermit :)

Thanks, Claire! That's so wonderful to hear. The Hermit is one of my favorites, too. That, the High Priestess, the Fool, and Death. Cheers!

Just add the Magician to your list Evvie, and you have exactly my favourite cards! Too funny :D x

That's really funny that our faves overlap so much! I've yet to really click with the Magician, myself, but I know that's a hot one for tarot readers.

These are amazing!! I, too, resonate with the Hermit especially, but all of them are lovely takes on the traditional meanings.

Hi Evvie, there's no wee button to reply to your replies...
I'm loving The Silver Witchcraft Tarot mainly because of their key cards - especially the Magician :) http://womanofartandmind.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/tarot-tuesday-day-late.html
scroll down the post to see the cards :D x

Those cards are lovely! That tarot bag, though. I'm drooling. I just noticed that the little reply buttons go away after one or two replies. I have to figure out how to fix that.
