So, about this project. I wanted to do something special for the third anniversary of Super Punch, and three weeks or so ago, the idea popped into my head of inviting my favorite artists to create tarot cards. Other than reading Promethea, I knew very little about tarot cards, so I got up to speed courtesy of Wikipedia. I then went about contacting artists and matching them to cards.

Below is the full list of participating artists. I expect that the deck will be complete by the end of April. If you've been inspired by what you've seen above, then by all means, please send me your own tarot card. I created a new blog called Endless Deck, where I'm going to post tarot cards for now on.

You can find a card template here, and see sample tarot cards here, here, and here.
