Summary

+ This is Lynyrd-Jym Narciso (aka Paraluman Studio), the creator of the Vanessa Tarot and Tarot de Maria Celia, as well as a number of other decks over the last decade and a half. My good friend, Trzes-Art, has graciously offered to again host the Kickstarter campaign of my latest tarot creation: The AfterLight Tarot. The deck is primarily inspired by several aspects of my love for Art History and tarot - with the former, the Impressionist, Surrealist and Magic-Realist movements. Here, I meditate on the endless depths of the tarot's archetypes through thoughtful and magical figures rendered in expressive textures and strokes. The deck's name comes from the Impressionist art movement, which aimed to capture the transient and dynamic qualities of light and color as the viewer sees it - like an... "impression" of a scene. The name comes from how color behaves scentifically (but also in the movement's context): color is generated "after light" touches a surface. The name also is a wordplay on the concept of the afterlife, since tarot attempts to intuit matters beyond the mundane. ABOUT THE ART The deck's art is what I like to refer to as "digital mixed media" - it is a digital approach which mimics mixed media fine art. It is something I developed from around the time I created our previous Kickstarter deck, the Urban Incantations Tarot. Basically, I start with pictures (royalty-free), and then I do a crude collage of these, and then I paint over them digitally, and afterwards I subject them to a process I develop specifically for each project I make (apply textures, layer styles, etc) to get a specific look I want. For this particular deck, I wanted the look and feel to approximate the strong and visible brush strokes and dabbing seen in Impressionist and Expressionist artworks, while for the imagery, I had wanted something more whimsical, so I opted to depict a combination of Magic-Realist and Surrealist imagery. The end result are artworks that feature traditional and non-traditional tarot imagery. These are keyed to the RWS for the most part, so even if the imagery depicts non-traditional scenes, they still are very accessible to tarotists (the RWS arguably being the most familiar tarot deck to most people). And just to clarify, the artworks are not AI nor were they created using AI. I have been a tarot artist for a long time and I appreciate how the community has banded together to support actual artists over AI-generated projects. I source out the pictures for my initial collage I use from "free for commercial use, no attributions required" sites such as Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, as well as, occassionally, the public domain seciton of Wikimedia. I am thankful these sites also have ethically required those who submit images to their pool declare whether these images are AI genearated or not (and one even went so far as to ban the latter). Even Kickstarter thankfully has stepped up and required project creators to declare whether their works involved AI image-generation or not. DECK SPECS AND MORE The deck will be printed in 310gsm casino-quality LINEN cardstock - we thought this was a good and more premium stock based on feedback we have gotten from our previous campaign. It will also come with a small booklet with information on the deck and each card.
