If I had a penny for every time I obsessively created a card deck within a month of wild sketching, I’d have two pennies – which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Strange Tarot is a project I created back in 2015, inspired by the screen version of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” by Susanna Clarke. All the Major Arcana are based on the characters and the moments from the book, as they are portrayed in a seven-part miniseries adapted by Peter Harness. The limited printing of the deck included 50 copies, now scattered all over the world – and I am happy to admit that Bertie Carvel, Enzo Cilenti, and Edward Hogg own theirs (and, truth be told, I do hope Mr Carvel keeps his somewhere next to his box of fake teeth).
No extra printing is in plans now, but the printable files are available on demand. So in case you’d like to print a deck for your own use, feel free to contact me, we’ll figure something out.
