簡介

+ This deck got its name because of two things - Deviantart, an art website which was such a fertile environment in which I was able to cultivate my art; and the name "blue-fusion" which was the username I used in the various online tarot and art communities I was a member of then. I love shades of off-blues and it shows in most of my works. It's also a reference to the themes of that period: "blue" as in despondency, because the featured artworks were created by a time marked by angst and self-doubt, depression, etc.; and "deviant", because I am mostly a self-taught artist, so my approaches and outlooks in art tend to... deviate from what is taught in art school. This project is very special to me because it recalls a very turbulent period in my life. I was having a lot of emotional issues and self doubts, even self-hate, and was going through a lot of emotional pangs too. It was a time in my life riddled with insecurities, aimlessness and angst - I felt unanchored for a time. A friend introduced me to the website Devianart during this time and it really helped me transform all those raw emotions into creative outputs. It seemed like I poured all my frustrations and disappointments into each work and they ended up.... rather different from what one would expect! It's pretty strange actually - for such a time riddled with disquieting thoughts, my artworks tended to have this light and magical feel to them, but, well, one can't really know where one's art journey will take you. I was also active in the online tarot scene during this time (in forum websites like the now closed Aeclectic Tarot), and began self publishing my works then - my first two indie decks were Les Adorables Tarot and Tarot of the Lepidopteran People. I've done quite a number of other decks over the years, and one of the things people tended to notice about my works were how they were stylistically different from each other. This is perhaps influenced by the things I loved in my youth: zoological taxonomy (that way of classifying different animals into their respective groups), and art history. With the latter, I love how one style is different from the other - I love the "distinctness" a style or an artist's "phase" and how different they are from one another. This is particularly evident in the works I have included in the Blue Deviant Tarot - they range from the cute to the serious, to the magical, to sometimes dark, etc., each containing a facet of my yearning for art. I have carefully selected 79 artworks from the 500 or so "deviations" (artworks, but in Deviantart lingo) from that period of my life (the 79th card being The Happy Squirrel Card!), with special consideration as to which of them would best work for which tarot card. A number of these, I have adapated - changed some details so they work more in harmony with the meaning or imagery of the particular tarot card they represent. I keyed the cards in what people normally call the "RWS" style nowadays - it's much more approachable and accesible for most people since it arguable the most used nowadays. The cards will come in 330gsm casino quality cardstock, a 192-page booklet in the same size as the cards, in a custom tuckbox. You will also receive a PDF book which contains material that talks about what went on behind each artwork, certain outlooks and philosophies about art that I hold which are relevant to the art in the deck, among other things. I was actually pleasantly surprised that I still remember what went behind all the artworks featured in the deck - what inspired them, the mood I was going through, what I was referencing in them, etc.). This period in was so influential to my artistic life that the memories I have of them are still very vivid, even after almost 2 decades. Here are some sample images of the some cards from the deck - apologies in advance for the watermarks! Sadly, art piracy is very rampant in the tarot world nowadays:
