Here is an early page, in honor of Emerald City Comic-Con! I’ll be at Table #208 with Erika Moen. ECCC is a really fun show with something for every nerd, so please come say hello if you haunt the Seattle area.
Also debuting there, I have a new set of giclee prints for sale. Luther and Ariana in tarot card incarnations. I won’t put them online until next week, so come snag yours!
Click to see at full(er) size.
I love them fiercely! Curses, a good reason to go to ECCC when I’d decided I couldn’t manage it! Grr…
I really appreciate that frame of Luther excerpted above, too. >.>
i concur. i’ve never been that interested in tarot, but i would buy a deck by you in a hot second. mostly i’d love to see your take on the different archetypes
Very nice images. Close to Waite, but definitely their own characteristics. Oh, nice with Ovid instead of the Tora.
The priestess, with OVID as her scripture! Delicious! But is it Ovid as prophet of Amor, or as testator of Change? I forsee a profitable sideline for you. I would go to a Comicon and pay a pretty penny for a tarot reading from you
Hi Dylan, I just wanted to thank you for making it up to ECCC this year and for making this amazing comic and letting me gush about how I think it reminds me of Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle and…and…Yeah, you rock. Also, I promise I won’t attempt to foist my mini-booze onto you next time you come up to ECCC.
Thanks a bazillion.

I got my prints in the mail today and they are amazing. Thank you so very much for the exquisite attention to detail. I’m taking them out for custom framing this week.
I’m not a fan of the “make a whole deck!” idea but I can see some other card symbology that would be fun to explore in the context of the story… Lucian as the Magician to Luther’s Fool, say, or the Rector as the Heirophant.
Stories are so important to me, so let me add: Thank you, thank you for your story.

I would buy a tarot deck themed around this. Please make one in your copious free time.
