The idea for a cowgirl/cowboy/cowfolk tarot originally came from a photo shot by Caree Prince, and some chat in the comments about how the image resembled the card, The Hermit.

I have resisted working on a tarot deck for years; simply because it is a huge undertaking to fulfil both major and minor arcana (78 cards, I think?), and also because I am not as familiar with the cards as I would like to be. I have a superficial understanding of most, but not thorough.

However, I love drawing cowboy shit and I love a little mysticism and magic, so I am tentatively embarking on the development of ‘The Land’, a cowgirl tarot. It started with Caree’s Hermit, and I included my two favourite cards from the major arcana to create a triptych. Of course, my own horse Benson features on The Star — my favourite card, my favourite pony.

The idea to restock my shop actually came from the hope that I can raise a little capital to keep me fed and watered while I work away on more cards… So, if you purchase one of these prints during the next week, please know that you’re directly supporting the creation of something that will be really special (I hope!).

Thanks so much for taking an interest, and for keeping the creative fire stoked!
