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!

A Dickens of a Time!

Watchoo! I’m over my Thanksgiving cold, and I’m ready for some Yuletide FUN! I love Dickens in Downtown Plano. I’m lucky to live in such a cool lil’ suburb of the Big D; I’ve been here for a few decades and the community is always wonderful. I’ll see you on Saturday, December 7th!

Maker Badges

I’ve made lots of “Maker Merit Badges” for my local makerspace in the past. In making them, it was my intention to release them into the wild, free for anyone to use. Today they are officially available for makin’ stuff!

They’re all in .svg format, so you can vinyl cut, 3D print, laser cut, CNC, embroider, etc. your own maker badge to show off your maker creds. 😎

Visit the repository here on Github; my friend Tommy and I welcome new badge contributions. Share and share alike!

Major Arcana: DONE

Big news today: I have finished the Major Arcana for the Tarot deck I have been working on! That’s 21 cards into my 78 card journey. I’ve been doing a lot of background work prepping for doing the pip cards: making patterns, color swatches, studying card history and meanings.

This has been an amazing project thus far: the sheer amount of art history alone crammed into these decks is incredible. Frankly, it’s been more fun for me to study the card history than to do actual practice readings! In any event, while hard to share my journey (Livestream me reading and taking notes? No thanks haha) I do broadcast live on YouTube every Tuesday while I’m drawing each card. I can’t wait to see what the next cards bring!
