Today I wanted to share the tarot card stand-- the Black Seal tarot stand-- but it is literally the ONE THING that Enoch has not completed solely because we don't know what the design allowances are for manufacturing it. Enoch has been asking me for more work for 2 weeks now haha.
So-- let's take a look at the Art Print choices from Enoch... and the Commemorative Mug!
The Enemy
The Weeping Mother
The Blade Smith
The Bundled One
The Great Weight
The Making
The Blessing
The art print choices ranged from the Exhibit to Blades, Wire, Rot, Nails, and Blood. We considered doing a print from each suit, but we realized quickly we wanted two from the Exhibit, and I wanted to make sure the prints had a good range of color and composition. The Making, for example, surprised me. I was looking for our final print and realized that it made such a beautiful solemn composition on its own, and it's the only one to be this tragically monochromatic. It gave me a clear sense of melancholy I really loved.
I'm so in love with our choices, and think this is a great look into the deck itself. Creatures large and small, victims, people making their own choices. There's a lot to love here, and we did an amazing job in bringing this to life. Just truly amazing.
And then, yes, there's the mug. Enoch illustrated us a lovely little look downstairs into the basement, where Enoch was locked with The Creachur. During our final hours livestream, backers joked that I was keeping Enoch down in the basement to illustrate the deck, and I threatened Enoch with a creature that I would release to harm him should he fail my deadlines. Throughout the stream, we had Enoch likely to die, then likely to live, then likely to die-- until it was joked that I should have a Enoch Was Spared commemorative mug. And thus the mug came to life.
If you want one, you can add it to your order still for $15-- feel free to ask Backerkit support to help you add an item to your order.
I think the design is actually quite fun, so I hope you'll all consider grabbing one with the 32 other folks who have one in their order! It's just a fun way to think about a project and the people behind it, and I guess probably many workplace violations. Don't worry, I'll let Enoch out for sunlight soon.
