Cat Art! I know, I know ...

[Meg]

yes. dvo is right. but also like, i am /so impressed/ with you, craw. you made this and then persisted with it, drawing /78/ fucking drawings to do a tarot. you did it despite life being life and covid being covid. it’s honestly so impressive and i’m so proud.

[Testament]

@crawfish You’re doing an amazing job. I may not play Arx a whole bunch these days, but you made the card I picked look great. Outdid yourself.

[crawfish]

gosh guys.

[crawfish]

I’ve got another deck planned I think for next year for a new kickstarter but before that, I think I wanna use some of these cats I’ve drawn and illustrate a kids book. Something with morals and positive energy and shit.

Two more kickstarter updates of 22 processed cards, so if you supported that go check it out! There’s more to process, I’m wanting to get the rest done, insert done, box designed, and all that shipped out before Saturday.

[crawfish]

The next update here will show you the last because BITCHES I FINISHED.

Pre-Order discount has been extended!

[crawfish]

@Roz That was fun.

[crawfish]

That last card replaces the previous 6 of Pentacles; I mixed up my description for it. The only glitch
crosses fingers
and I was more than happy to fix it ASAP.

And with that! TAROT CARD DECK IS DONE. I’m hoping it’s the first of a couple, and it was definitely a journey.

Two guesses who ‘The Tower’ is. Actually one. You get one.

I finished the bare-bones insert I did, we’re waiting on some quotes before we push the big button and then, hopefully, since we’re printing domestically, I might have it as early as mid-November. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

Holiday presents!

Pre-orders are STILL AVAILABLE, when we get the cards in stock that’s gonna change. I’ll give you guys all the warnings as I have more updates, one of which will probably be the graphic I come up with for the bonus totes.

For the backers that are here: HOLY SHIT. THANK YOU.
For the supporters here: Ya’ll. Moral support is everything. Thank you.

@crawfish I’m waiting for @hellfrog and @Herja to fight over who gets to be The Tower now. Even though we know who you meant by it. Bonus points if either or both are a Gemini.

[hellfrog]

@dvoraen @Herja is the much better storyteller, and much harder worker when it comes to making the chaos happen. It would definitely be her

[crawfish]

@hellfrog Hey your card is dope too.

[crawfish]

The prototype of the box! If anyone knows FeliciaP of Arx, let her know her kitty made the box art for it.

ETA: This probably WON’T BE the final product but it’s all coming together. There’s issues and another contender or two, but I’m so excited to see it all start to come to fruition.

@crawfish

Eee! (FeliciaP)

[crawfish]

@ratatat your kitty is a contender! But there’s an issue with the colors so I’m shopping options but I’m glad I could show you!

[crawfish]

HEY GUYS.

My website is updated. My partner worked many many many hours on this and even if you don’t remember my old website, that’s fine; just remember this one.

Mahaldoodles.com

It is a functioning shop, there are STICKERS and apparel and all kinds of cool shit. NO ONE HAS TO BUY ANYTHING. Just bask in the beautiful, beautiful code. And tell me what ya’ll think.

[sao]

@crawfish you can’t stop me, I already bought something muahahaha

[crawfish]

@sao My husband danced into the room I was in and rubbed the notification on his phone in my face.

[crawfish]

Calendars!

You can use the artist’s pick or select from the 78 tarot cards and assign them to whatever month you’d like.

BONUS: The cover will match the art you pick out because my husband is a GENIUS.

Beloved kitties drawn in memoriam.

So! Something like a dozen original arts are not being claimed. Check them out here:
