This is a deck I drew some years back. Clearly based on Pamela Coleman Smith’s images in the Rider Waite Smith, I meant it to be fun, simple and bright. Not to mention, I wanted some cards I could publish without having to ask permission.
I recommend anyone interested in Tarot to draw their own deck based on one they find significant. It doesn’t matter if you know how to draw or not. I love the Stick Figure Tarot and certainly anyone who can print their name can draw a stick Magician.
And if you still don’t think you can draw (or in this case copy someone else’s drawings), get yourself The New Drawing on the Right Side of The Brain. In the first few chapters you’ll wonder that you ever thought you couldn’t.
The benefit of drawing your own Tarot deck is that you really get to know the images. Focusing on all the lines, colours, facial directions, expressions, objects you’ve never noticed before, it’s really quite amazing what you’ll see.
You may or may not include everything in your own pictures. But you’ll know a lot more about the deck you’ve drawn and probably the general system of Tarot than you did before you started.
Try one yourself! And let me know.

These are some amazing tools. I can’t wait to get started. Its always nice to find projects to do with the kids. Thanks again!
you’re welcome! enjoy!!
Now those tarot arts looks really unique. Gonna try downloading it and thanks for sharing.
you’re very welcome!
I think this is such a great idea.
The activity of making the cards certainly forces you to be thinking about the card, its Tarot significance and so on.
I know that doing some form of active exercise always increases not only my interest in the subject matter, but my retention of the information as well.
Thanks for writing, and I think you’re right. I think everyone should make their own deck. It’s fun and really helpful in terms of learning the cards.
Hi Georgianna,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your Georgie’s Tarot. It’s whimsical and sweet. I think this would be a great deck to work with children and a great tool for creative brainstomring!
Best,
Carolyn
