On my desk right now: 2026 Moon Calendar and a Wyvern. If you're interested in what else I have in the studio, or you've ever wondered what I use for - digital drawing brushes - types of linoleum - brands of ink - types of paper - how many knives I have, it's the most recent post over on my patreon

My handmade Major Arcana Tarot Series prints are up now a "last chance" prints and once they’re gone, they won’t be reprinted. I'm continuing the series on Patreon — where I release a new Minor Arcana print every month for patrons. Once we have a full deck I'll be creating a real usable tarot deck

✨️Last chance!✨️ I'm retiring all of my blocks prior to 2025. The final inventory is up now, so when they're gone, they're gone! 🗡 You guys, i just counted, and that's 71 blocks between the zodiac, major arcana, botanicals, minis, and dragons. Is that crazy? That feels crazy.

Moon calendar preorders are open + a last chance items shop update: I'm retiring all of my blocks prior to 2025! The inventory numbers have been updated, so once the last chance items in my shop are gone - they're gone!

Tomorrow (6/10) I'll be sending out a huge newsletter through my website with some information about last chance items (including a code for newsletter friends) and blocks that are being retired!

Some close-ups of my recent unicorn anatomy linocut 🦄🗡

Someone described these as what would be in a Necromancer's Study, and I'm obsessed 🗡🦄 I've added an edition on handmade lokta paper 📜❤️

"Caprinequus unicornis" (goat-like horse with one horn), a stylized scientific illustration block-print showing the different anatomical parts of a unicorn "C.J.Barbas del. et lino." in the bottom left means "drawn and linocut by C.J. Barbas" (that's me). "unicorn anatomy" listing is up now 🗡

Carving the last piece today 👁

Almost done carving 👀🦄💀🗡

All the parts have been outlined (except for the unicorn horn dust)
