The Normal Tarot

101 black ink illustrations (plus formatting, back design, and box) for an original deck of tarot-sized cards envisioned by The Caretaker. Illustrations were based on their written descriptions. Published by The Publishing Goblin, Seven Asmund.

This is has been printed twice, (including a second, darker edition with luminous silver foil) and is currently available as print-on-demand.

The Observatory: a night sky full of stars, an observatory at the top of a mountain, a pair of eyes.
Many black and white ink drawings on a grid, featuring spiky weeds and icicles in various contexts.
The Mourning Queen: a veiled figure in a black dress holding a lit candle.
Closeup of charred tree bark.
The Spring Knight II: armored figure standing in a manicured garden.
Deck box with brushed sigil. Card back with geometric lines, stars, planets, and a pair of skulls.
The Burning Garden with many other cards from the deck in the background.

Silver Edition

The second edition of the deck presented the opportunity to add silver foil to the illustrations, and we decided to make the illustrations darker to best show off the metallic effect. A limited number of these decks are still available from the publisher's site.

I also designed and illustrated the cover for the book (with spooky, Art Nouveau vibes) that accompanies the gold edition of the deck.
