When I was asked by US Games if I would be interested in getting an advance evaluation copy of Patrick Valenza's brand-new, I was extremely excited. I had actually seen a few scans of this deck in progress months earlier, and was quite thinking about seeing the ended up product. When I opened the deck, I was blown away.
Card after card, I was surprised and pleased at every incredible brand-new image. This Is Noteworthy have actually never been more amazed and impressed with a deck. Valenza shares some of his creative procedure in the LWB: "The Deviant Moon Tarot deck was produced utilizing different kinds of photographic adjustment. Each card began with a total illustration, which was then scanned into the computer system where I applied various photographic textures.
I bent, twisted, and reformed my images to end up being capes, boots, hats and trim. One of the very best aspects of developing the deck was 'searching' for particular textures as I respectfully tiptoed around the graveyards of eastern Long Island, New York City. Background buildings were created with pictures I took of a regional deserted ridiculous asylum.
Often times when I'm taking a look at a deck that strays from standard RWS images, I tend to see flashes in my mind of the RWS comparable significances as a contrast. While the Deviant Moon doesn't follow conventional imagery, as soon as I take a look at one of the cards, I instantly understand what card it is, and I've discovered that before my mind is able to flash to the RWS "meaning" in my head, the art work forces me to bypass that action, as it pulls me in further and asks more of me.
There is some talk among the tarot community of this deck being actually dark. However, I do not see it that way at all, and when interacting with the artist, he confirmed that it wasn't ever meant to be a dark deck. He described that it was based upon his youth creativity, a twisted world which is at times a bit melancholy, yet consists of components of humor also.
