It's Caturday! There are only 8 days left to back the Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle Coloring book on KS at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/albaillustration/the-everyday-witchs-familiars-oracle-coloring-book/
This black cat is the quintessential witch's familiar, but the joy of coloring books is you can color them however you want! Tuxedo cat, tabby cat, orange cat, gray cat... have at it! 🖍️
The book also features 2 other felines, a Lion and Cheetah. Oh, does a Sphinx count too? There are 41 pages total of animals - domestic, wild, + magical!

The Whimsy Woods Tarot is DONE! All files have been sent to Llewellyn. Publication set for March 2027. Deborah + I can't wait to share more news about it as it comes! Stay tuned!
I had to take my obligatory photo-with-all-of-the-paintings. A few are missing (see alt text).
This is 2 years of work. And by work I mean FUN! I've adored creating this! Please consider how passionate HUMAN artists are when we create decks, how much of our life we put into them. A computer can't do that...
The world is full of distractions that pull us in a million directions. Sometimes we just need to stop and ground, centering ourselves so that we can stay strong and rooted, no matter what we face.
"Ground and Center" from the Everyday Witch Oracle, illustrated by me, written by Deborah Blake, published by Llewellyn Worldwide. The painting was created with ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache.

"Today is a good day. Be sure to enjoy it."
On this marvelous #felinefriday Deborah Blake and I are pleased to share with you a new reveal from our upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot deck (March 2027 from Llewellyn Worldwide) - one of the happiest cards from the deck. This is the Sun! ☀️
Every card from the deck was created by me with ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache.
Happy Spring! 🌼

A very exciting reveal today! The final card back design from the Whimsy Woods Tarot!
There was much back and forth about the card back design. One thing was certain - we wanted it to be reversible. Deborah and I decided this adorable idea captured the spirit of the deck. It features the wise woman mole, the High Priestess, in front of her woodland cottage, awaiting the day's visitors!
And in other news.... the deck is officially slated to be released in MARCH 2027 from Llewellyn!
✨ The coloring book is fully funded!!! ✨ Thanks to my backers and to all of you who commented and shared.
The Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle Coloring Book has 41 pages of magical domestic and wild animals, ready for your crayons, colored pencils, gel pens, markers, and watercolor. I had great fun painting them, so I imagine you would too!
