Linocut is probably the most unforgiving medium I've worked in.
Despite my formal training, I very rarely do thumbnails because I'm a FOOL. I didn't want to mess these up though so: THUMBNAILS!!!
I went through my many tarot books and looked for meaning and inspiration. I knew I wanted it to feel esoteric, but not obtuse. I wanted nature involved, especially that of my Pacific Northwest home. The designs changed quite a bit but these thumbs helped a lot.
