The Jester’s Deck is a haven for uniquely crafted Tarot Cards, Oracle Cards, Lenormand Cards, and Playing Cards that dance on the edge of the artistic, abstraction, and sometimes whimsy.
I have always been fascinated by card art, be it Tarot, Playing Cards, Lenormand, Transformation Decks, or Oracles, I think that cards should be as unique as the individuals seeking play or insight. Embrace the playful mystique, and let your intuition roam freely.
All my decks are securly purchaseable on The Game Crafter website.

A Little About Me
Art has been a constant in my life, all thanks to my mom’s early influence. From sketching with pencils to airbrushing, the very underrated world of stenciling, and even diving into the worlds of photography, graphic design, layout, and printing before the digital era took hold, I’ve tried my hand at quite a bit. I’ve had some spectacular successes, and some equally spectacular failures, some of which ended up being spectacular successes because art seems to be subjective. Nowadays, my artistic endeavors have shifted to the digital realm, where I juggle fractals, digital layouts, Photoshop (I don’t actually use Photoshop, I just use it here as a vernacular), and the occasional bout with AI over what my art should look like. Sometimes, I throw all these methods into a blender and see what comes out.
Although fractals have been my main artistic output over the last decade (I have over 2000 fractal pieces under the nomenclature Geonetiqué Designs) I have found myself returning to another artistic obsession I had in my youth. The art of playing cards.
I developed a fascination for the artistry of playing cards as a child when I would stay at my grandparent’s house. My grandfather’s collection of vintage Bridge, Poker, and transformation decks introduced me to this captivating world. A little while later, beyond poker and bridge, I discovered tarot, with the Tarot of Marseilles deck capturing my imagination. It was like opening a door to a whole new universe of storytelling. Journeying further into card art, I crossed paths with decks like the Rider-Waite-Smith, and the Thoth Tarot, each with its own narrative potential within the artwork. It’s fascinating how each card tells its own story and, together, they create a broader narrative.
Years later, a friend of mine, Edmund Zebrowski, introduced me to Lenormand decks. The simplicity and the directness of the imagery struck me, and I decided to start adding Lenormand to my repertoire.
Most of my card art here is a combination of Human and AI art. As I explain in this post: The Semi-Futile Attempt To Make AI Art Work With You and Not For You (Or “How I Stopped Worrying And Loathed The Process”).
If you would like to check out my various other non AI Human hybrid art, my Fractal Art, Glitch Art and Photo Manipulation Art can be found on my LinkTree.
