Tarot in the Making | Behind the Scenes: The Major Arcana

Finding an artist that matched the style I was looking for was a bit of a cat and mouse game. I had initially reached out to italian artist Eleonora Pietricola, but she turned me down for such a large project. I shopped around for a few months and then I begged her to work with me, one card at a time. She thankfully obliged, and here we are, designing a new deck.

Hand-Drawn with Intention

Every card in this deck features original, hand-drawn artwork. From the smallest details to the overall design, each illustration was thoughtfully created to give this deck its own unique character. View the first sketches transform into the final designs below.
