If you are thinking of getting Royo's deck for a Halloween party, you might want to look through all the cards online first--it's definitely an R rated deck, and unless you go to much livelier parties than I do, you might just end up having it be "THAT Halloween party." If I know I am going to read cards for other people, I usually use the classic Rider-Waite or the Robin Wood deck I have, which is both pretty and easy to read; very non-threatening. Though probably the Ultimate Reassuring Deck has to be this one: The Royo deck is basically an art deck--it has images for all 78 cards, which I approve of, and some somewhat quirky associations of art and card (which makes sense since the art came first and then needed to be applied to the deck). (These were some of the tamer cards) Here is one of my favorite paintings of his, placed as the 6 of Pentacles:   It's actually a beautiful interpretation of charity/generosity.    There is a booklet that come...

It's a art piece by Waldemar Bartkowiak and you can view the larger version here : I really like the wizard as a rat :D I have not done anything newsworthy today, so instead you can go admire Bartkowiak's portfolio on cgsociety or artstation. Waldemar Bartkowiak

A gorgeous set of images that I first found on tumblr are on len-yan's Deviant Art (Magdalena Pagowska) and may have provided the inspiration for Soom's Soul Tracker horns: .

Garnets of all kinds rock :D

..and there were deer in the pocket wilderness by the freeway. They were very cute since they were not in my yard, eating things. There were about 6 of them, and they weren't too worried by us looking at them, either. Dinner at the Cedar Grill was also delicious; it's a little strip mall place and the food is amazing. We also as part of the evening's errands ordered a new fridge from Home Depot,and bought a fridge thermometer and some more mouse traps. Last night at 1:35 a trap that we had lying around set in a drawer for 4 months suddenly snapped shut and caught a mouse, possibly because everything not perishable that we had been stuffing in the old fridge, was now out on the drainboard. I also, among other things (like weeding) did some versions of a digitally painted "techno angel" so I could test out some custom Photoshop brushes: I need to finish up a goddess commission this week too.
