Pretties! *swoon*

As some of you already know, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law is working on a tarot deck, which I must have when it is finally published. I first encountered her work when she did some cards for L5R (like this one, and was fascinated by how she handled color and transparency and composition. At one point I found her deviantArt account, which is how I first heard of the tarot deck that she was working on. The one I must have!


Just look at her Page of Swords. Or her Queen of Swords. Also, I am especially admiring of how she dealt with the Death major arcana, which keys into the actual meaning of the card and not its traditional representation.

(One of the odder facets of my life is that while I despise the practice of fortune-telling, I adore symbolism and symbolic systems; collecting tarot decks is thus a guilty pleasure of mine. I can also explain why my suite is that of swords, not cups, in spite of my coloring.)

And now, back to looking at all of the pretties!
