Brooks, Aunia Kahn and Daniel Martin Diaz.

Wonderful and amazing.

Though I wonder what they're going to do about the artwork that doesn't fit standard dimensions. That Emperor, for example, which looks square.

It will be cropped since it is a sculpture, some of the sides will be cut off

Gorgeous work! I found about about it via the Hi-Fructose blog. Wish I was still in sunny California... If you don't mind my asking, what were the other entries like and how did you set about choosing each card?

The way it work was I asked artists to submit their style, and why they felt that they should be a part of the project - since tarot is very personal, spiritual and soulful. After close to 1,000 submissions I chose some of the best artists to complete new and original work for the show. They were given many months to do the research and create new work - and this is what they came up with. I wanted them to be artistic, and stick to some of the symbolism but I did not limit them. I am very pleased with the amazing lineup and the artwork!

Thank you for asking!

Thank you for replying! You should definitely be pleased It must have been interesting, reading all those entries.

Wow! I want this!! Your World is wonderful, I the Emperor, and Strength is fantastic!!

The entries were fantastic! So nice to see artists interested in tarot

Thank you for all your kind words!

Yes, not sure if I address this Questions, but it will for sure be a collectors deck and a art book.

Thank you for the support in this, I am sure all the artists really appreciate it!

I saw this in Hi-Fructose too. Best magazine ever. All of this is great! I like the Emperor and The Chariot the best.

congratulations on the whole project. great art work.
I love The Fool.
