I am sending out shipping invoices for the Rosenwald Redux Tarot. The last time I felt this kind of pressure and ernestly lit candles in front of the Remover of Obstacles, I was finishing a Master's thesis. 😀

Here is a comparison of the "printer's copy" (left) used for photos and adverts as opposed to the final copy (right) that will be leaving shortly. You can see that the final copy is both warmer and darker. Love it!

This is how Southern I am: I truly believe that no situation exists which cannot be ameliorated by a good biscuit.

While the Rosenwald Redux Tarot was not considered a "limited edition," it has turned out to be. To that end, every deck will be numbered and initialed by me on the back of the box: here are 168/500 and 169/500.

Decks are here and resting comfortably in my office, waiting for mailing boxes so we can get these KS orders on their way! Thanks again to eveyone!

A friend today made a suggestion concerning the extra cards--likely cards that many people will not use-- in the Rosenwald Redux Tarot: use the Zodiac cards as significators! What a great idea!

My grandson was watching this episode of Peppa Pig. There were anthropomorphic pigs, sheep, dogs, and rabbits who then go to a duck pond, and the ducks are just...ducks. I don't like the Mammalian Supremicist attitudes here...😁

A final sketch for a new bookplate (owner's name redacted)...

New word: sinshine (noun) the luminous, happy look on someone's face when they bein' bad!

Some doodling after Dürer...

Floating upon waves of gratitude, my friends! Thank you!

Changes: the three of batons needed the diamond; the four of batons needed to be horizontally shaded like every other baton; Hope had no dress decor like the others; and the ten of swords has had the swords lengthened. Nothing dramatic, of course, but necessary in my opinion. Thanks for reading!

I post this on December 2 to remind those interested in backing the Rosenwald Redux Tarot on Kickstarter that this campaign ends in eleven days. Please join me on this journey as a fifteenth-century tarot finds new life! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tarotkingofms/the-rosenwald-redux-tarot

Random practice...

The irony of the situation just occurred to me: I am reading Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World using a tarot card as a book mark...

Bees busy on Mississippi's mid-November camellias...

Thank you, Marilyn, for showcasing my deck among such distinguished company! youtu.be/uAI2gMuIZho?...

Thank you so much for your kind words, Marilyn! I appreciate your taking the time to review my new deck! youtu.be/Z9OQuMTdhTU?...

We are live!

Kickstarter campaign launches tomorrow! Take advantage of Early Bird specials as soon as you can! www.kickstarter.com/project/tarotkingofms/the-rosenwald-redux-tarot

Finished and on its way to its rightful owner...

Almost completed...finally! #art

Another night of back-breaking stippling, but the likeness is improving, I believe. #stippling #art

Another stage of the Marilyn Project...

Another stage in a dot-crazy project...

What can you do with the extra cards in the #RosenwaldRedux tarot? The cards are small enough that you can create a very manageable Wheel of the Year with the Zodiac cards before laying other cards on top. KickStarter begins mid-to-late September 2025. (Cloth/handkerchief is from headingprints.com)

As I continue, I just wanted to give a little bit about my process. I left those large swaths of white on her stomach area because they were going to become gentle ripples in the garment as I established my darks. Now you can see what they have become.

(Work in progress...)It takes forever to get a good black with ink stippling, but I just love the effect at the end.

My prototype came in today, and I am over the moon! Check out an intro to the project on my blog tarotkingofms.com.

Well, we're "electronic proofs from the printer" close to having a deck in hand...

My creator card will be included in the deck. I like it. It feels heraldic, a Deep South coat of arms to protect my little deck. And for a deck originally created in Italy before Italians knew Mississippi existed...love it! #RsoenwaldRedux #rosenwaldtarot #tarot #minchiate #tarotkingofms #tkofms

Wow...I have created a lot of these images, but when the guy who is getting the images digitally ready for printing asked me to run through them to make sure they were OK, I was stunned and horrified to discover that I had not created a Queen of Swords...to quote Homer, "Doh!" #rosenwaldredux #art

The back design for the #RosenwaldRedux tarot. This is the final image I am creating for this project. I don't know what to do now that these images are complete...time to start my biennial re-read of Robert Wang's Qabalistic Tarot. And prepping for the final deck to be created...#tarotkingofms
