From my new tarot deck, Tarot of the Woodland Wardens. The story behind this image is one of my favorite bits of folklore, which tells of how the hedgehog shakes a grape tree, then uses her spiky back to collect the fallen fruit to feed her family.
Preorder: site.andrewsmcmeel.com/tarot-of-the...

Illustration of a hedgehog wearing a red ribbon with three gold coins on her back. The coins are stuck to her spiky back. The hedgehog stands in front of a grape tree that has five more golden coins. The text says: eight of pentacles

FWIW, the person who commented this wasn’t aware that I did both illustrations because one was for a brand (although I was credited and retained the rights to it!). I do keep all the rights to my work so I can rip myself off whenever I want though!! ;)

I was accused of ripping off my own artwork, which is definitely a first

Artists, have any of you used these for mailing prints? The post office added an additional $4 charge for prints shipped rolled in a tube, and I would hate to raise shipping costs to cover that. I’ve found envelopes tend to get bent or corners dinged in shipment, but are these any sturdier?

Only the flower shop responded, said it was a mistake, but still no response from the historic site. I’ve done an event with them in the past but stopped working with them because they use AI for literally everything. I don’t think they are very ethical people lol 🙃
