In answer to your question, the Connolly was illustrated by Peter Paul Connolly, and the Morgan Greer was illustrated by William Greer. Two different schools of art

These are only my opinions, but I hope any of this can help you
Wow, thanks so much for the amazing reviews on both decks. This was REALLY helpful! I really got the feels of the decks now.
Also thanks for warning about the Christian theme in the Connolly tarot! I never knew about the Jesus card and although I do not like the church, I love Catholic and Christian based tarot cards! It has that old Catholic cathedral feel to it and when I'm in a certain mood, I LOVE it! I went through all the deck somewhere online and I was truly impressed. I liked the round, blocked type old fashioned clear illustrations and I found some cards to be very creative. I mean really creative and *interesting*, it had more detail than M. Greer and seemed like a pretty good deck for general use.
Talking about the M.Greer. I've seen the images of the full deck somewhere online as well and I did feel it lacked details and all the people where only in their portrait size. What was great is that I don't have a tarot deck that has no borders (maybe the image will sort of jump on you) and clear, full, bright figures. I want to feel that feeling of using this deck. Although, as you, say I think I'man intuitive more, so maybe it's good for a quick reading when you're lazy (or don't have much time) to meditate, channel and go into more detail.
So thanks again for the great great reviews!!!
