Happy Little Cartomancy

The Joy of Cartomancy atop my happy little paintings. Guided by intuition, I paint a picture, then pull three Bob Ross cards. My paintings suck, but at least it ain't AI. We don't channel mistakes, we channel Happy Little Accidents.

Who is ready to have their Happy Little Cards read?

This is my first "tarot reading" with the Bob Ross specialty playing cards deck. Click the video for an explanation of the process!

Disclaimer: I don't hear spirits, I don't think I'm channeling spirits when I paint (it just feels like I'm in the flow when I paint, someone wants to call it channeling, that's ok) but I think if anyone's messages of positivity should be sent into the future posthumously, it's these.

"Let's Make Some Nice Little Clouds That Just Float Around And Have Fun All Day"

Painting Title: Let's Make Some Nice Little Clouds That Just Float Around And Have Fun All Day

Catalog Designation: Two of Clubs

This is the 15th painting finished in the Bob Ross Cartomancy series. 54 paintings are planned, one for each of the 52 cards and 2 jokers in the Bob Ross playing card deck. This image was inspired by the 2026 ICE Protests events on January 24 2026 in which Minnesota bookstore owner Greg Ketter was subjected to tear gas.

Let's paint some happy little clouds that just float around all day and don't do anything.

Referenced a photo accreddited to Theia Chatelle.

A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope of a portion of the Helix Nebula highlights comet-like knots, fierce stellar winds, and layers of gas shed off by a dying star interacting with its surrounding environment. Webb’s image also shows the stark transition between the hottest gas to the coolest gas as the shell expands out from the central white dwarf.

thanks for speaking to me in passing today would you mind telling me if i was normal or likeable or if i am damned ?

[happylittlecartomancy]

According to my sources:

6 of Spades in the past position: Normal? "Just let go and fall like a little waterfall." You can afford to relax and leave any worries about the perception of your "normalcy" in the past.

7 of Hearts in the present position: Likeable? "And that may be the true joy of painting, when you share it with other people. I really believe that's the true joy." The things you enjoy, the things you like about yourself, share them with others. That's the true path to likeability - being yourself in the present!

5 of Clubs in the future position: Damned? "You can move mountains, rivers, trees. You can determine what your world is like." Nothing in the future is permanent or set on stone - you can always change it. There is nothing permanent about being damned in someone's mind. If they painted you that way in their mind, you have the power to simply paint over that impression in the future... if you choose. It's your world. You can leave them with their perception... or recolor it at any time.

[Actually random cards pulled in response to seeing this question reblogged on a mutual's timeline. Hey. It may be random... at least it ain't Gpt.]

Best compliment a tarot reader can get, honestly!

Chocolate is my favorite treat. It's also damn near medicinal when I'm on PMS.

But Nestle can straight up go fuck itself.

Used this photo for inspiration on the King of Spades art titled "It's Life It's Interesting It's Fun"
