If you've been listening to the show for the past six months, you've been hearing me talk about a

0:04.1

personal project I'm doing. And I was going to launch on Kickstarter called the Drifting Moon

0:07.8

Tarot. It's a tarot deck. And it is live on Kickstarter right now. It is currently up and I just

0:13.2

wanted to make that announcement. A tarot deck is a deck of cards that each card has a different

0:17.4

theme. And my job as an illustrator was to figure out the stories and the

0:21.8

symbols and the meanings behind these cards and the different themes. And so it was a really fun,

0:26.7

almost like a narrative kind of project, but applying it to a deck of cards. And so I'd love for you

0:31.4

guys to go check those out on Kickstarter. We do have a link in the show notes here on this episode.

And you could also go to Kickstarter and just look up Drifting Moon Tarot.

As you know, us here at Three Point Perspective, we are very big on artists making projects

that they are passionate about.

0:46.2

And the only way these projects work is if you guys support them, we love the idea of

0:50.5

taking a little bit of power away from the big companies and giving it back to the artist. And that's what these things are. That's what this project is for me. It took the last six

0:57.5

months off of commercial work just to do this project. And so I would love to ask for your support

1:02.4

and your help. And if you like the project, share it around. I would really, really appreciate it.

1:06.7

Okay. Thank you.

I don't know, we haven't ever gotten deep on the subject of medical illustration,
