Georgie's Deck-In-A-Day


I was listening to the Storm Cestavani Show from a couple of weeks ago when he and Robin Richardson interviewed Leisa ReFalo. Leisa mentioned Chronata's Minute Tarot and how the artist who created it took about five minutes to draw each card. I was intrigued that someone could draw a deck so quickly and decided to challenge myself to do the same. 'Georgie's Deck-In-A-Day' is the result!

Some cards took five or seven minutes each, while others took as little as 30 seconds. Overall the whole thing took about seven hours to draw and a few more to colour and clean up (on the computer of course). Some cards are certainly better than others, but they're all kind of fun and I had a great time doing it.

It's a fabulous exercise for Tarot lovers everywhere. I highly recommend you try making one (or more) yourself. By doing it so quickly there's no time to get hung up on the artwork or any particular way the card is supposed to look. The energy of the card just spills out as you catch it on the page. Very fun! I'm definitely going to be doing it again.

Check out the rest of the Major Arcana below. If you want to see it all, the whole deck is posted on The Tarot Room FaceBook Group - if you're not already a member - join now!! (and there you can see The Lovers and The Devil without their 'modesty strips' :)

Georgie, these are beautiful! Great job. I sent the link on to Leisa, who I am sure will enjoy looking at them. :)
