The Art of Shadowscapes Tarot - Minor Arcana

It's here it's here!

Well, the proof is at least.

Now accepting pre-orders for this lovely companion volume to the Major Arcana book! $55.00 for the book alone, or as usual with Shadowscapes-published items there is a sketch option for an additional $15.00. The shipment should be coming in 8 weeks, so the aim is for me to start shipping pre-orders in late-October and September. Please note that if you select the sketch option that will require extra time as well because those are all done individually by hand!

Hardcover with dust jacket, 160 pages (that's over 50% bigger than the first book!), full color, 8x11 inches. Featuring each of the 56 minor arcana paintings, along with text to accompany the images and ink illustrations created especially for this book. Followed by sketches of the development of each piece and insights into the symbols depicted, inspirations, and the lore behind them. An excellent companion to the deck kit published by Llewellyn!

SALE! Original Watercolors

In an attempt to clear out some room; and also because I think paintings deserve to live on peoples' walls and not line my closets, I'm having a sale of many of my older game-related paintings. They received no less love than any of my other work in their making, but it's the sad fact that a lot of commissioned game work is often less sought after than the fantastical forest groves and dream spirals of my more personal work. You can find these sale paintings -here-. These were done for ChessMage, Bella Sara, Warhammer, Warlords, Legend of Five Rings. But their genesis doesn't matter if perhaps something in these pieces might catch your fancy. Prices range from $20.00 - $95.00

And now I'm off to sleep, and then to SF BATS tomorrow!

Keyword Sketch Cards

Was too busy finishing my painting and prepping for shows this week, so I didn't get any special editions packed up. But these will be going out next week:

clockwise: hope, pegasus, vibrance, panthera, books, happiness, vanir, phoenix, hope, ophion

SF BATS and Dragoncon

With both of these around the corner, here's my annual reminder that if you want me to bring something specific with me to the convention please don't be shy to email me and request it. I have a lot of prints and so the selection that I carry with me to the convention is only what I think is more popular. Every year there's always someone who comes up to me at a show and asks if I have a particular print with me and I have to disappoint them with not having brought it. I'm also happy to reserve items ahead of time.

SF BATS - August 28, San Francisco CA
Dragoncon - September 3-6, Atlanta GA
