Description: Smaller edition of the popular Lunatic Tarot Porfolio by Evan Yi Feng. The intriguing, character-driven images have by necessity been cropped and reduced, but the art still manages to retain much (though not all) of its dramatic impact. The deck that seeks -- quite possibly successfully -- to raise the anime style in tarot to the level of fine art.

Lunatic Tarot (Porfolio Edition)

Designer(s), Artist(s): Evan Yi Feng
Country of Publication: China
Number of Cards: 78
Publication Year: 2005
Publication Status: In Print

Description: Beautiful, tarot-inspired art portfolio by Taiwanese artist Evan Yi Feng. The cards are predominantly dusky in hue, with shades of brown forming the base of Feng's palette of intriguing and dramatic tarot world. The card-thick image sheets measure 5.5 in. x 10 in., and come in a glue-bound binding that allows for each sheet to be detached. There are no titles or numbers on the images, but a black-and-white illustration of the image's associated Waite-Smith card appears on the back of each sheet. An actual deck version of the images with card titles was published later.

Though executed in a manga/anime style, these images are far from cartoonish; the humanity in the faces of Feng's characters is undeniable. Then again, we have had a few customers laughingly refer to this assembly as the 78 large, laminate illustrations, printed on cardstock and bound in a tearout-book. Book housed in cardboard shelfcase.
