The Lovers The seventh (finished) card in The Courtly Beasts Tarot. Card VI in the Major Arcana.
The Lovers have made a place for themselves. They see eye-to-eye in this harmonious union lit by flames as bright as their passion. The are unfazed by any threat from the serpent or the expectations of the outside world. They know the universe is smiling on them- gracing their romantic sanctuary with a lunar rainbow.
The Courtly Beasts Tarot is intended to be a deck that draws loosely from the imagery of the classic Rider-Waite illustrations, but creates a world of its own through the use of anthropomorphic animals cast in the archetypal roles, historically inspired costume, and lush environments. Each card is another step in the journey.
Alia Terra: Stories from the Dragon Realm funded on Kickstarter this past Thursday and we hit *all* of our stretch goals!!!!
I’m still reeling at what we accomplished. I am so full of gratitude- and excitement that Alia Terra gets to become everything we envisioned.
I am going to be thrilled to get to take a breath and focus on actually **illustrating** this beautiful book to its -fullest potential-. All thanks to everyone out there who helped.
We hit our Hardcover goal! The book will now be available as a hardcover for a small add-on fee! We almost have 200 backers! Woah! We only have 3 (three) Original Art Tier spots remaining! We have eight days left of the campaign!
In the latest update, @avakellyfiction and I put together some awesome character profiles for our cast! Check it out to learn a bit more about the people, dragons, and undersea critters featured in our book of queer, nonbinary fairytales.
(Paintings done with Watercolor, Ink, and a bit of Gouache)
In the latest Kickstarter update, author @ThunderEternal & I discuss costume design for the characters in our queer, all-ages fairytale book! Romanian folkwear, historical context, togas, flower crowns- we touch on a little bit of everything in this one!
The kickstarter is now live! I mentioned a while back that I had the opportunity to create the seven of coins card for this deck. I’m happy to announce that the kickstarter is live!

Written by me, illustrated by Matthew Spencer @mspencerdraws and edited by E.D.E. Bell, these stories in English and Romanian hold a message very dear to me: Our happiness is our own.

If you’re unfamiliar with Kickstarter, this particular campaign will allow you to pre-order this book, get some extra goodies if you want, *and* each pre-order will help boost the number of illustrations in the book!

Wow. So I know I mentioned Unfettered Hexes-the anthology of queer witchery from Neon Hemlock- a while ago. I mentioned it SO LONG AGO that I have now finished all of the card illustrations for the Oracle Deck that goes along with the anthology.
Each and every one of these illustrations corresponds with a story, poem, comic, piece of art, story game, or other amazing piece of the Unfettered Hexes Anthology, in which these illustrations will also be appearing.
This was an incredible undertaking, and I had the pleasure of working with awesome Neon Hemlock editor dave ring, and an absolutely stellar roster of contributors. I cannot recommend this Anthology enough.
(My illustrations were created with ink and black/white/grey gouache, and then edited in photoshop.
Since February up through last week, I was painting 3-4 cards a week. Feelsamazing to see them all together.)
