I’ve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.

I have a long way to go, but I’m nearly done with the major arcana.

Here are some of my favorites:

image

I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.

image

And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.

image

But there’s still a lot of variety coming through. It’s not all class, or all silliness - just like cats

I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one ☝️

I’m so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.

And then there’s this one absolute diva:

image

Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.

There are more but I don’t know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.

Khalkha Headdress from Outer Mongolia dated to the 19th Century on display at the McManuc Art Gallery and Museum in Dundee, Scotland

This headdress would have been commissioned from a silversmith for a Khalkha woman when she was to be married. It was presented to her on her wedding day and she was expected to wear it throughout her married life.

The Khalkha people were a diaspora group in Mongolia and in the early 20th century became one of the leading groups of the Mongolian Independence Movement. They campaigned for independence from the People’s Republic of China. The Khalkha also found their lands taken by Imperial Russia and later the Soviet Union. Khalkha author Byambyn Rinchen translated and published Khalkha legal codes and folklore during the 1940’s. He was a direct descendent of Genghis Khan through his mothers family.

Headpieces such as this from Mongolia were collected by European travellers and ambassadors and then donated to museums. Such fashion would go onto to inspire costume designers on Star Wars for Queen Amidala.
