78+ ORIGINAL #TAROT PAINTINGS. 6 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
The Lubanko Tarot is coming this 2020!! Keep an eye out for the Kickstarter this year!
Why did this tarot deck take 6 years of my life? Because I never let it be the Only Project. When I started years ago, I made a promise to myself that it would be something special that I only made paintings I was proud of. If I wasn’t feeling it, I wouldn’t paint it.
I started this when I was freelancing years ago, working other art and design jobs and making a lot of things for other people to pay the bills. I’ve made a lot of other things in between. This project was meant to be 100% sincere, with no compromise. I’d make it no matter what.
I can say that on this day of finishing all of the cards– I kept my promise. I did not compromise. Every single one of these is a sincere piece with the metaphor I meant to say at the time I meant to say it. They are not “perfect” art, as I intended. They are a sentence.
These pieces will mean something different to everyone who looks at them, and that’s good. That’s art. I’ve put these little fragments of my soul out on the table, and we’ll see which pieces of our mutual souls speak and resonate, and I think that’s lovely.
I’ve got some logistical stuff to wrap up (books, so that folks can learn the tarot and read the meanings! card backs!) but I’ll be announcing more and more details closer to the date.
I am not on tumblr as much anymore, but I will try to update closer to the Kickstarter launch. If you want to keep in better touch with this project, follow me on:
Thank you everyone for coming on this journey with me. I cannot wait to share it with you.
Love and bless,
E. Lubanko
