My old computer took its last breath last week. Infact, it had been pretty ill for a long time. The whole side had fallen off, it wouldn't turn on without the front being unscrewed and pulled away. Generally, it couldn't turn itself off by itself. It's mouse, like a withering hand, no longer worked, and almost as if it was spiraling between concious and unconciousness, the screen would turn to black every four or five seconds.
The poor thing really was at the end of its days. It had worked very hard in its lifetime but in its last few weeks of life, it couldn't stay on the internet for longer than fifteen minutes and was prone to crashing unpredictably.
Now, it is at rest in PC heaven; up the ladder, it rests in the loft - unaware of the sleek silver laptop, that replaces it in my room.
Like a lot of stuff I had downloaded on the 'recently deceased', there was a website for a tarot artist that I could no longer get to see through my old PC's closing eyes. With all of the files and photos in its hard drive, the details of the website are lost.
I cannot remember the name of the artist and the deck was a long way from being finished. It was either a photographic deck or the artwork was so clear that they looked liked photographs. The cards were long and slim and had a gantasy element to them. I think that they were based on a comic book. They were, to my memory, quite gothic looking. I remember a man with long blonde hair, maybe even in some kind of leather trousers. I really liked this deck; it was one of those ones you just want finished and published so you can get out there and buy it. I think that the website was 'sister' something. Anybody know so I can be put out of my misery.
Cheers

Drama over!
I actually had a flash of inspiration and found them.
Here's the deck, right here on Aeclectic.

Anybody know anything about this deck?; anyone know whether it is likely to be published. I am pretty happy with the decks I have at the moment, but if this one became available, I would be pulling up sofa seats for pennies and calling in debts to get hold of it LOL. I really do like this deck and hope that the wait for it to come into print is not a long one.
Best wishes

So sorry about your computer. But I am glad you found your deck, What would we do without the Aeclectic deck database? ;) I don't know anything about the deck. In fact, I think that this is the first time I have ever seen it. It's interesting.

I also signed on to the website many moons ago and have not had any updates. I sent an email to Ruby this evening to see if she had any further updates. I will keep you posted if and when she replies.
Fingers crossed! I really like that deck.
