From the album: Specialty Decks
Artist: Michael Calandra Publisher: US Games Systems Inc First Published: 2024 ISBN: 978-1-64671-220-5 Card Size: 2.75 x 5 inches Language: English Available at: https://www.usgamesinc.com/calandra-tarot, Amazon Details: Borderless. 117-page Guidebook by Trish Sullivan. This 80-card deck includes two extras: one card called As Above, the other So Below. According to the Guidebook, these two cards were created by the artist to "explore the duality of life" and can be used with the Major Arcana. Review: The imagery of many cards in this deck very closely follows the artwork of Pamela Colman Smith, while the rest veer off into other interesting interpretations. Calandra is a fantasy artist who uses airbrush, acrylics, and colored pencil, and works with live models. You can see some repetition of faces throughout the deck. Occasionally, perspective and/or proportions are off, both of which can be distracting. There is some diversity in skin color and body type. The artwork is mostly Rennaissance-ish, with some Goth and a little bit of Steampunk thrown in, while adding modern elements here and there, such as people wearing glasses. Although Calandra is a fantasy artist whose work has appeared on the cover of Heavy Metal magazine, his drawings of women in this deck generally show them modestly dressed and not overly voluptuous in most cases. There is nudity in the Lovers card, and almost-nudity in the Star card but, in my opinion, neither is gratuitous. Every card is colorful and detailed. The card backs are very pretty and will accommodate those who read reversals.© geoxena

Creator/Artist: Zephyr Pfotenhauer Publisher: Self-Published and Printed First Published: 2024 Materials: silk screening Cards: 81 cards measure 3.5" x 3.5" (The 3 extras are an additional Strength card called Fortitude, plus original cards: 'The Labyrinth' & 'Eros (The Garden)' ) Stock: No details, but it feels fine to me. Shuffles well. Box: Thick board 2-part, lidded box LWB: 48-page mini-booklet (home-printed and hand-cut by the artist) Buy: Sold on the artist's site: The Bon Sequitur Tarot Deck by Zephyr Pfotenhauer — Bon • Sequitur EDIT: The limited print run of 333 decks has now sold out, but she's added newsletter sign up for updates about a 2nd edition. (My copy came with a spritz of perfume on the outsite of the deck box. If it's an issue, you can likely contact the artist first. The cards themselves were unaffected.) Follows the RWS structure and meanings. Good review at Tarot Cake: Deck Review: The Bon Sequitur Tarot Deck - Tarot Cake From the review "Just look at this bright little bundle of joy!... Make no mistake, despite the exuberant, fun style and colours, this is not a lightweight (nor even particularly gentle) deck – it definitely doesn’t pull its punches. The Bon Sequitur was created by graphic artist and printmaker Zephyr Pfotenhauer in the aftermath of her husband’s sudden death. She describes the process of making the deck as a way to 'build another life from the rubble of the old: piece by piece, card after card.'”© Zephyr Pfotenhauer
