I’ve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.

I have a long way to go, but I’m nearly done with the major arcana.

Here are some of my favorites:

I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.

And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.

But there’s still a lot of variety coming through. It’s not all class, or all silliness - just like cats

I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one ☝️

I’m so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.

And then there’s this one absolute diva:

Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.

There are more but I don’t know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.

Drawings of my cat Darkly

Damn I totally forgot to post the anniversary print I did for these goobers

[catbatart]

One of my newest pieces! I'm so proud of her!

Bast has always been one of my favorite gods of all time across any pantheon. I really wanted to do a piece to honor her and her different depictions!

This piece was done in a combination of inkwash, watercolor, and coffee, and the prints are all accented in gold foil, which I think really pops!

She is available as a print on my etsy!

'Tis done! "Put baby in pelican mouth" based on the original post by @maverick-ornithography that I think about constantly

@theshitpostcalligrapher I'm glad you enjoyed the earlier version, giving you a yell again if you'd like to see the finished piece!

It is hard to threaten people when you forget to put the cat out. My OCs (Vex and Robert the cat) This has gotten shared in at least one Facebook cat group and I honestly love that so, so much. Very wholesome.

I drew a bunch of silly stuff with my werewolf woman and decided to gather it one post. Sometimes you just have to decompress through being goofy

You can read about her here.

These comics are just some silliness I drew for fun. It's not really canon, she lives in a separate setting (not our world) and isn't able to talk as a werewolf. Her original story is also pretty rough and tragic.

I love you so much I hope we get reborn as housecats who sleep together like puzzle pieces

Of all my posts to Do The Numbers over the years I think this is one of my faves because the notes are full of two things: people tagging their friends/loved ones, which is very sweet, and people posting photos of their own cats cuddling, which means I get to see more cat photos
