I just saw the R. Black Tarot on my feed, and hoo-boy I know this is going to be big. It's still a deck in progress AFAIK, but once it gets out I'm gonna grab it like no one's business. I love it!

I really like this! Thanks for sharing. Love Death and 6 of Cups.

 

Hopefully it won't be too long before the deck is available.

Me want!  ;D

 

 

Beautiful art, and I love the spin on some of the cards. The Tower, not so much. Too "socially conscious" --not a bad thing in principle, but I like decks for reading, not for political or social statements.

 

 

Though you gotta admit it is a powerful Tower card in every possible sense.

Awesome deck! I'm loving the World, the Five of Cups and the Ten of Cups especially, and damn is that Tower chilling. I'm definitely gonna be watching for when this deck comes out.

 

The artist even linked to their pinterest and said people could print and play around with the images when responding to a question about releasing a majors-only deck in the meantime. I can't even. *bookmarks to print at parents' house*

This project started in early 2016, and currently we have all the majors and the Cups suit is almost finished. At this rate the whole thing would be done by 2020. I still think that it's very much worth the wait.

I LITERALLY just made a post on tarotsphere about whether anyone knew anything about this deck! So happy to find this :D It's absolutely gorgeous, and I for one am happy to wait for it. It looks like it's going to be stunning. I'm such a huge fan of that Devil card, especially!

Just saw a comment from the artist that the R Black Tarot is about 1 year out from completion.  :) May sound like a long time, but it's been about 2 years since I first saw it, and every thoughtful new card reinforces my interest, so it's great news, I think.

It's so great! I very much think this one will be worth waiting for :)

 

Also, where did you see the comment? I should definitely be following the progress more closely!

from the posts I think this is

EmpyreanKnight's deck?

No, EK just saw it in his facebook feed and kindly started a thread about it.  :) 

 

It's by an artist named R. Black. He doesn't really separate his cards out from his other art and photos, so if -- like me -- Ek's images above won't show up for you, you can see several all together here.

 

Or better yet, if you have a pinterest account, you can see them here.

He has such a distinctive and graphic style of art - I bet this deck will read like a dream! I havent seen one card that I dislike yet and I can't wait for him to complete this project.

Thanks for starting this thread EK - I have seen various cards posted on pinterest etc but no info as to their creator, so now I know!

Wanted to revitalize this topic in case the deck will actually be available soon. On the site there is only one card missing! I've had this on my list for a long time and recently went back through and looked things up and one of the decks happened to go up with a Kickstarter today so I just barely caught it with a few weeks notice, and then this one is almost done. I'm a little worried I'll still miss it when it becomes available so maybe getting more in the zeitgeist of the now will help 🙂 It looks great! I'm excited!

I'm incredibly excited for this deck!!! I've been checking the website, and the artist's instagram, every day! One of the coolest takes on the tarot I've ever seen.
