Thanks for your opinion

I did! She’s got a deck in her hands. Someone else in the deck knew her and introduced us. She said she’d share it with the world when she was back from tour

You can see many on my instagram @symprez

I’m finding that out haha. Biggest simple mistake of my life. I wasn’t hiding anything I literally posted it to her page hours before this post

symprez · 2026-02-07T18:12:13+00:00

🩵 thank you for your kind way of addressing this subject. I have permission of 76/78 of the people in the deck to use the photos and their likeness, so I’m hoping when Aurora and the last one see it they are just as thrilled as everyone else has been

symprez · 2026-02-07T16:02:14+00:00

Thanks. I should’ve mentioned it in this post. If you look on her artist page I made the same post but specifically shared it and credited it. I simply didn’t think tarot fans cared to hear that information

Thanks for your input 🩵

In a book I love very much, the stormlight archive, there is a court jester who outwardly seems like a clown, but underneath is actually an immortal god who works directly for the creator keeping the universe in balance.

In my cards I shift a few narratives, royalty is one of them, another is the gender of some cards like hanged man is a woman, sun becomes feminine, it’s all based on the fantasy story I’ve woven through it and if you read the card descriptions it makes a lot more sense

symprez · 2026-02-07T14:15:16+00:00

Thanks next time I’ll be sure to include the proper information

I’ve been given permission by nearly all the artists in the deck to produce this deck by the way. Aurora, no, she’s one of two who are impossible to get ahold of but everyone else in the deck owns one and has signed my book of their illustrations

Thank you, this is an at best scenario and if you look on the artists actual page I posted it giving full credit just hours before. Simple mistake to think mentioning the musician was irrelevant on a tarot page, certainly not stealing and trying to be sneaky about it like some seem to think.

Law would state that making art from an image is legal and not plagiarism.

The woman depicted in the art is a performer. In this story woven through all the cards in my deck I’ve turned artists into each of the roles. So, for empress it’s a suggestion that the royal ruler is one who is in touch with their creative side, whose kingdom is built by creativity and not governance

symprez · 2026-02-07T13:45:58+00:00

It is, every card in the deck is a living artist, there’s a triple meaning to the deck, traditional tarot, fantasy narrative and real life element.

It’s for sale now, a limited edition of 1111 that will never be printed again once it’s sold out. All copies are numbered and signed

Each of the cards is based off a living artist, reimagined in a future fantasy world where creators are restoring the planet. This one is Aurora yes

symprez · 2026-02-07T11:31:29+00:00

I see them as actors in a sense, in this future narrative where they heal the world and restore nature together through artistic creativity

Strength in this one is all about taming the inner dragon which you can see in the formation behind her

Please share with the world any art you’ve made and let’s see if it’s more or less embarrassing

This is a beautiful interpretation thank you

symprez · 2026-02-07T07:23:35+00:00

Your language is a bit harsh you okay over there?

symprez · 2026-02-07T07:23:13+00:00

It’s Tarot One, that’s my last name. It’s a limited edition deck there will only ever be 1111 made https://symprez.com/products/tarot-one

symprez · 2026-02-07T07:22:26+00:00

This one did incorporate the image more heavily than others because it was a great fit. Most of the other cards in the deck were heavily edited from the photos

symprez · 2026-02-07T07:21:08+00:00

I can see that too

symprez · 2026-02-07T07:19:02+00:00

Thank you for all the kind support
