Elisabeth Alba @elisabethalba.bsky.social · Nov 17
Hi there! I'm Elisabeth. I live in Mass, have 2 kids, am married to @murphyillustration.bsky.social, + am currently working on the Whimsy Woods Tarot for Llewellyn (my 3rd tarot deck, but this one was my idea!). I'm really into animal art lately. Here's a few recent paintings. Nice to meet you all!
The Fool card from the upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot. A basset hound minstrel sings on a cliff, the town below. Owl companion shouts a warning. This deck will be written by Deborah Blake. A red dragon with its hoard of treasure. 9 of Pentacles from the upcoming 78 Tarot Medieval deck. Illustration of an otter and badger couple strolling down Cockburn St in Edinburgh. Illustration of two witchy cats making a mess while brewing a potion.

#birds
An illustration set inside a stone castle room - there is a pair of lovebirds snuggling on a swing above of wooden table covered in objects - a red rose, cherries, a golden chalice, pink quartz, candles. In the background is a large stained glass window with a heart on it, a broomstick, and a bookshelf.

Are you a cat person or dog person?

Now that cozy season is here, I'm once again sharing these fun tapestry blankets of my artwork! 100% cotton, woven by jacquard loom in the USA. Hang them on the wall, or throw them over the couch!

You can grab one at www.albaillustration.com/original-art...
Tapestry blanket featuring the illustration of a border collie dog laying in front of the fireplace. There is a cozy couch nearby, witchy boots warming in front of the fire, broomsticks, books, and plants nearby. Tapestry blanket featuring an illustration of a black cat sitting on a desk, about to knock over a bottle of ink. The cat is surrounded by witchy/magic objects - spellbooks, crystals, candles, pumpkins, a broomstick, chalice, and magic mirror, etc.

The fall migration is ending soon, and I'll miss seeing these lovely creatures fluttering around!

This is the Butterfly from the Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle. It symbolizes hope and faith.

From the Everyday Witch's Familiars Oracle illustrated by Elisabeth Alba, written by Deborah Blake, published by Llewellyn Worldwide. Illustration of the lifecycle of a monarch butterfly. In the foreground is a milkweed plant with monarchs at every stage of their life on it. In the middle ground there are two tables - one with a pitcher with a pentacle symbol on it, and one has a potted plant with the air symbol on it. In the background is a lush garden and greenhouse building.

Yonder Old Oak

I'm excited to reveal my 3rd label created for Four Phantoms Brewing in Greenfield, MA.

I'll have my art set up on Nov. 1st during their Cider Days event. You'll be able to get cans of this tasty mead too!

The painting is available at www.albaillustration.com/original-art....
This is the actual label design. Illustration of a large gnarled oak tree in a flowery field with bees buzzing around it, a standing stone circle in the background. It's dawn (or dusk) and the pink to blue sky has stars in it.

"Get moving!"

One of the quirkiest cards from the Everyday Witch Tarot - The Chariot! Created w/ @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social and published by Llewellyn.

Signed art prints at albaillustration.etsy.com. I also have 2 remaining signed decks there - signed by both of us (w/ extra goodies)!

#tarot
A witch in a leather jacket rides a red motorcycle (like a vintage BMW) with a sidecar. There's a black cat wearing a red helmet and striped scarf in the sidecar. The witch is looking up at two signs pointing in different directions - one says THIS WAY and the other says THAT WAY.

My book is the true story of a 17 year old girl who became the first human cannonball - but really it's about bravery, independent spirit, and giving.
