Ostara Tarot App

Didn’t get a chance to “officially” share this till now: Ostara Tarot Card App!

The Ostara Tarot card collective now has an app available for iPhone/iPad and Android devices thanks to The Fool's Dog! One more reason to stare at you phone - to get your tarot reading at any time!

And here's a little write up from the app website:

"Ostara Tarot is as fresh and wild as the verdant springtime. The creation of four artists from the Pacific Northwest, the deck is a unique and surreal interpretation of the traditional Rider-Waite cards. In Ostara Tarot, the familiar scenes take fanciful forms, and the usual suspects are played by a wondrous array of divinities, people, animals, and mythical beings. Some cards show us unearthly visions of nature, others portray realms of purest whimsy. Each artist drew one suit and some of the Major Arcana. Each creator has endowed her suit with a distinctive yet complementary art style, giving us a playful, cohesive, and innovative masterpiece."

Bye for now!

Soak up That Sun!

So, now for some illustrations, (nearly) fresh from my Editorial Illustration summer class.

For this assignment we were to create a black and white illustration that would accompany an OP-Ed article from the New York Times. I found this article: "The Sun is the Best Optometrist" to be quite interesting, so that's the one I worked on.

Here's the process:
