My Major Arcana deck, the Analog Arcana is about to go into production for an early-January release! I'll also be posting later this week when copies of my oracle deck, The Quiet Knowing arrive and go on sale! www.rainbowwillard.com // www.analogarcana.com

Bright, pixelated cover design for The Analog Arcana: A Major Arcana Deck by Rainbow Willard. The background consists of a grid of small, colorful squares in neon hues of pink, green, blue, yellow, and purple. The title is centered in bold black outlined text with a white interior, reading “The Analog Arcana,” followed by the subtitle “A Major Arcana Deck” and the author’s name “Rainbow Willard” near the bottom. A complete 22-card set from The Analog Arcana tarot deck by Rainbow Willard, displayed in five rows. Each card features bold outlines, solid color backgrounds, and playful nostalgic imagery representing the Major Arcana through vintage toys and analog objects. Examples include: The Fool as a paper airplane, The Magician as a rabbit pulling a smartphone from a hat, The High Priestess as an 8-ball in a television, The Emperor as a Rubik’s cube, The Lovers as a pair of walkie-talkies, Death as a pixelated “Game Over” screen, The Tower as a collapsing Jenga stack, The Star as a disco ball, The Moon as a glowing full moon, The World as a red View-Master toy. The cover of the deck appears in the top left corner, matching the colorful pixelated background of the first image.

This 48-card oracle deck is painted entirely in acrylic—bright, heartfelt, and ready to read. Prototypes are in hand, and I’d be so grateful for your support, shares, or even a little cheer on day 1. #occultsky

The Virgo new moon + eclipse reminds us everything has its season.

The Mushroom card echoes it: endings, renewal, transformation, GROWTH. 🍄✨

My oracle deck The Quiet Knowing launches Oct 1 on Kickstarter.

Welp, there went my trip to DC this weekend. I already knew I probably wouldn't be able to get Lyft or Uber from the station because of the vast majority of drivers who are immigrants. 😢

Carving the acorn was scary fast. Like an hour from transfer to the final cut. The orchids are from a block I made in the spring.

A variety of hand-printed kraft paper notebooks are displayed on a wooden table. The covers feature black linocut prints of crystals, pinecones, and floral designs.

I made some updates to the block and now I'm pulling test prints before I print this on some journal covers!

A hand holds up a white piece of paper with a black linocut print of a crystal cluster emerging from a rocky base, radiating energy lines outward. The carved linoleum block used for printing is visible on the wooden table beside it, showing the same design in reverse. The background includes a brayer tray with black ink and scattered art supplies.

A hand holds a large sticker featuring two mirrored rainbow-colored lotus flowers on a black background. The top lotus is in red, orange, yellow, and green hues, and the bottom lotus is in cool tones of blue, purple, and magenta. Between them, white text reads “as above so below” in a retro, curved font. A hand holds four colorful tarot-style stickers in front of a purple background. The stickers feature bright, bold illustrations: a paintbrush and palette on a neon pink and orange background; a glowing green moon on a starry navy sky; a clipboard with cobwebs in the corners; and a video game controller with a D20 die labeled “THE GAMER.”

Nothing like watching a documentary about someone disappearing from a cruise ship to get your anxiety in the mood for some action.

I don't even have a cruise planned. 😂

This crochet pattern is obnoxious. Well, the repeat directions are anyway. I thought I was the only person who couldn't get the right stitch count until I looked on Ravelry. 😂 Luckily I can fudge my way through this to get a hooded scarf.

Big day of spray varnishing these to prep them for mats and bags. Even I'm shocked I'm so far ahead with all of this 😂🤣. The art fair isn't until mid October but I'm on track to be done with prep by mid September!

Well, that sticker order escalated quickly 😂🤣

Took me about 3 weeks to draw and finalize all of the designs either on paper or on my tablet, but I'm super excited to see how these turn out!

Prepping for an upcoming art fair and I plan to sell original paintings as well as stickers and greeting cards with my art. I'm still on the fence about investing in prints, but I want to at least have some since I don't sell my original colored pencil work. Do people really buy prints?

I drew this a couple years ago and didn't know what to do with it. I initially thought it could be the design for the back of an oracle deck - which isn't totally off the table, but it's beautiful as a sticker...

I hope that I'm doing a good job as a parent, but I'll never do everything perfectly-and that's okay.

Today, I found out that my 8yo has kept every single note and picture I've ever given him since 2022 in a little fisher price bucket in his play room.

I feel like the best mom in the world.

At some point I need to touch canvas again. Starting down the digital drawing path for creating stickers has pretty much consumed me 🤣 HAAAAALP!
