WRD: Knave of Seaby *Winneganfake

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Other

The Windrow-Ravenswood Deck. Long thought lost in the annals of history and urban legend, this simple deck of playing cards has long been thought to be something more than its simple nature seems. Replacing the standard four suits with a much more strange and macabre set of artwork, the Windrow-Ravenswood Deck's imagery alone seems to set the stage for a much more intense game than the usual diversion that playing cards provide.

Correspondance: The Jack of Hearts.

Divination: The Knave of Sea is depicted as none other than the mermaid originally created by the infamous PT Barnum as a sideshow attraction- believing that the public wouldn't accept a gorgeous mermaid as the real thing, he instead created something just close enough to the legend for people to believe that it just might be true.

In a reading, the Knave symbolizes deception- not just an outright lie, but layers of subtle falsehoods, designed to cunningly draw one in.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I invite you to join me on a journey for the next few months, as I begin work on a new achievement- the creation of an entire deck of playing cards. One new card will be created and uploaded every weekday until the deck itself is completed in its entirety. In addition to the usual line of prints that will be made available with each upload (for those who prefer a single enlarged card) we will also be producing a limited run of printed decks, each shipped in a hand-sewn bag for storage and easy carrying. The pre-order price for each deck is $18.00, which also includes shipping inside the continental United States. Just click this link and go to our page on Tormentedartifacts.com to preorder your copy today! [link]
