It took 2 months over Christmas to create the images. During the process I worked with Morgan of Avalon, who created the words and meanings in the booklet that comes with the deck. The cards and booklet use a specially designed font just for the deck as an added touch.

It was a great project to work. From designing, illustrating and packaging the cards I pretty much sourced everything to keep cost down. I do believe that Tarot decks are a little overpriced and by handling the process myself, no middle people were able to put their percent on top. This way it’s affordable for everyone.

I have had many positive feedbacks about the cards and you can find reviews on the net. I have listed a couple below.

Ah the fashion Victim. I did this after thinking about how far a fashion victim would go. Click the images to view larger.

Love birds!

I don’t know why but a lot of images I do, have birds in them.

The twisted characters and darkness of the original story was brilliant. I had to do the Cheshire cat, then it was the Mad Hatter. What will come next? Curiouser and curiouser.

When a mad (or at least slightly dotty) professor tries to cook a super tasty supper for his wife, he accidentally invents magic slime, a talking fish, and a whole host of fantastic carnival folk.

So, whether you’re a fan of “whoosh bubble bang!”, or in love with crazy illustrations, this story might be just the thing for your own little mad professors to experiment with.

You can purchase the book through Amazon. Here is the link:  Carnival Capers

A gruesome story of the Snow Hill massacre in Smithfield London. These guys didn’t treat people well. The story is based on the findings by Peter Naysmith who has been collecting data for some time on his website. Written by Jon Groom and illustrated by Terry Whidborne.
