The connection isn't secure for ordering  but you can see the deck.

 

I find the banners to be differnt and a cool way to put the inserts in the deck. 

I like the ship, the house, and the coffin.

It's very attractive.
It also gets a big, fat NOPE from me:

 

Why does wanting deck artists to at least look over the card meanings before making a deck seem to be asking too much these days? 
Everybody used to. You don't see glaring mistakes like this in the 19th century decks.

Hmm it is like the fisherman is going after the godzilla of fish. 

May the deck creator was inspired by old man and the sea or moby dick. 

That's a little too much abundance eh 

[katrinka]

It ends a lot like Titanic does.

He is a gifted artist but I could not use that deck. It is too “loud.”  One thing I admire in the Lenormand is its elegance. You can do modern and retain that (Ciro, Ryan, Droesbeke, Rana’s deck and so on).  But it’s lost, here.

Aw.

I've been eyeing the Daniloff tarot, I like it for the most part but there are a couple (? might be just one) of cards, namely the 2 of coins, that put me off a bit. I just don't agree with the vibe of that card. But aside from that iirc the deck seemed to be somewhat well thought out and corresponded to the meanings.

I wonder if messing up one or two cards meaning-wise is his style, or if he's just not as experienced with Lenormand as he is with Tarot?

 

I do love his art though. I wonder if I could, like, get the deck, scan it, photoshop the facial expression of that one card just a tad, and then have it printed at the corner copy shop so I could have an edited working deck to mangle with my awful shuffling technique and general careless handling, while keeping the real thing as a pristine collectable, lol. Or then just learn to get over the offending card?

 

And yeah in general it's annoying when people do lovely-looking tarot decks and the symbolism is just completely off. Or better yet, when people do a cool-looking, roleplay gaming related oracle deck, and call it a "tarot" deck because in their understanding tarot = all cartomancy, so that's all one needs to know awww yeahh let's make a deck! Research, what's that mean?

For me i am like "what's with the box"

I can only think of theres an hole in the bucket dear liza.

 

The biting on the leather is either the person trying to bite free. Or it is sensual excitement

Lol. I think you are correct. Like Henry, the chap seems to need tools he cannot afford. He would end up borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Right, it's so weird. Imo it doesn't fit "balancing" or the ups and downs or juggling things etc at all - the vibe is very negative. The person looks like they're being gagged or prevented from speaking and the teetering leaky bucket just hints at poverty or things falling apart - there's no upside, it's just all downsides and this guy is straight up not having a good time at all. And why the clown makeup? It's very baffling.

 

A poverty-stricken clown engaging in some S/M play to earn money? Your poor situation turning you into a clown who can't escape their circumstances? I'm confounded.

And he has a lonnng hat. 
Is this thing meant to be read according to Freud? Kind of a slightly veiled freak Tarot?
