Initial Tarot Drawings Complete

The Hive Tarot

Drawing Progress
100% Complete
78 of 78 cards

I’ve kept my nose to the grindstone and FINALLY! After several years of puttering about and several months of deep work, I’ve completed all 78 drawings for my tarot deck, The Hive Tarot.

As a result, my fall schedule is going to be lighter than it has been in years past. Hopefully, I will have finished all of my editing and side work in time to have a nice stack of decks ready for this fall! More updates to follow!

It’s Oh So Quiet

Drawing Progress
35% Complete
27 of 78 cards

What does a Texas potter DO when it’s 9365° outside, outdoor shows are instant death, and zine season isn’t until this fall? Why, throw myself into a project that’s been softly speaking in my head for years like Milton from Office Space. I can hear that meek little voice: “Excuse me, you’ve been working on a Tarot deck for a few years now and I still don’t have a Tarot deck.”

I tried to hold myself accountable by doing regular livestreams, but, with homeschooling two kids and managing the household and a business, I don’t always have a chance to get into “deep work.” Rather, I may work for 10 minutes before helping with Ancient History, not work for an entire day because I need to replace the water heater, or work for 6 hours straight because the kids are at a class. I gotta be flexible, but still hold myself accountable for project goals!

This year is it. I’m going to finish. There will always be an instance of CorelDRAW open with a tarot card in it. There’s a progress bar on the website. I’ve told everyone I’m finishing this year. No excuses. Stop getting sidetracked. The joy of research is great, but you have 78 cards to illustrate.

I got this.

Mimeogator!

Hooray! I’ve been hiding out like a lil’ underground gnome, doing maker stuff. But fear not! I’ve got a nice Spring lineup of events coming, one of which is STAPLE! The Independent Media Expo in Austin! Ask my fellow makers, I’ve been folding zines in preparation like a madman. But I took a break to draw a STAPLEGATOR and do a tiny print run! Check out my first video of the year, wherein I go over how I did a quick ‘n’ cute faux-mimeograph print in two colors.

Do you like outdated printing methods for fun and profit? I have more videos on my YouTube channel and more zines on my shop.
