I just received this message from gregory today and am very sad to announce:

"Neil Lovell (of Malpertuis Designs, http://malpertuis.co.uk/site/index.html - Tyldwick and others) died suddenly in August. But as no-one else had access to his website etc, until his - brother, I think - can get the legalities sorted, there is nothing he can do about Neil's website, which is still accepting orders - he can't stop it; he has no legal right to do anything with it - and the site is charging through paypal, even though the orders cannot be filled.

 

If anyone orders, they need to email joelovell51@outlook.com, who will do his best to sort it. But people need to know that no order is likely to be filled. There are no decks to order - emailing joe is only useful for people who HAVE ordered and paid, as it's very likely their order won't be filled. There are no decks to be had."

Oh how sad - I love his work, and kept hoping that the second tarot he talked about would come into to being.

What sad news

PathWalker

Oh no. That's very sad news. I'm so sorry to hear it. I'm sorry too for his family's loss.

 

 

Thank you gregory and Saturn for letting us know.

Yes - the Motley. I was ACHING for it.

How heart-breaking this news is,  so very sad.  Thoughts go out to his family at this time.  He was a very gifted person and the Tarot world will miss his wonderful decks.

 

Like Gregory l was also hoping to order the Motley. 

Such a sad news i found out few months ago about Neil Lovell. Incredibly talented person, one of my favorite ever Tarot & Lenormand artists.

Beautiful mind, soul... many beautiful projects were created by him and stay with us.

At facebook page Malpertuis Designs Ltd i have seen Legend of the Wizard Laird Lenormand deck was ready for printing.

This is very delicate question if this deck will ever be published. But maby if Tarot & Lenormand community will support it will have more chances.

Just updating this thread for the future, there was a nice outcome out of the suddenly sad situation.

His brother Joe took over the business and all of Neil's decks and pdf downloads if you are missing them are available on their website (a new link to the same company) -

Joe Lovell sorted out any remaining orders at the time and did get the Wizard Laird Lenormand published in the end 🙂

 

 

 

Oh Dan - thank you for that; now I have my Tyldwick LWB !
