Sticker Mule Duet: Balon and Rayacha

Sticker Mule Duet: Balon and Rayacha

It has been awhile since I’ve done any new Sticker Mule orders, but I decided to order two die cut sets of the Balon and Rayacha artwork Erika Hollice did last year. Erika gave me transparent files for each character and I decided to make Balon and Rayacha into stickers. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the finished product since this artwork was more ‘complicated’ than the cartoon-y ones I had done thus far. But it turned out well!...

Tarot Minor Arcana Matching: Pentacles

Tarot Minor Arcana Matching: Pentacles

The last of the Tarot Minor Arcana suits and the last of the Tarot matching series. Pentacles pushes us further to legendary/out there characters (Gods, etc.).

Tarot Minor Arcana Matching: Swords

Tarot Minor Arcana Matching: Swords

Here is the second to last Tarot Minor Arcana suits, second to last in this entire series.

The start of the Minor Arcana suit assignment: the Suit of Wands. The quoted meanings for the below Minor Arcana are taken from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot’s Additional Meanings section. I didn’t follow the core meanings exactly or with how/what they are to be represented with. Some of this is more symbolic alignment than exact Tarot meaning alignment.

Commissioned Portrait of Xinlara (AKA Cyclone When He Was Alive)

Commissioned Portrait of Xinlara (AKA Cyclone When He Was Alive)

Commission #5 from Reiesu, a long time coming one that was initiated last June. I had been thinking of doing Balon Zfnoctewoohi for this or King Fla’neiel…of course, those I eventually did commission after figuring this out. For Reiesu’s next commission, I had an even better idea: Xinlara. Xinlara, as in, Cyclone’s Vacore name, as in Cyclone when he was alive and young. It seemed so provocative and daring to do Xinlara. Like…doing something forbidden. I don’t know, it’s about...
