No biggie, but this month's Bitch magazine has some collage-like Tarot cards on the cover. They don't look like "real" tarot cards, but they have Temperance, the 3 of cups, and the Wheel of Fortune.
Just thought you'd like to know, since we're kind keeping track of that sort of thing.

It's a deck & it was used, so it must exist at least as 1 single deck! (This is a very "existential" thread!! :D)

We only assume that at least 3 cards existed long enough to take a photograph of them or scan them. Given modern image generating and processing software it is possible that they never existed on paper. So we can't prove there's been a deck, ever.

I'm pretty sure it was just done as an illustration for their cover, but you CAN contact the editors of the magazine & ask them!
Same thing sort of shows up over at the site http://www.worth1000.com/galleries.asp since they have occasional 'contests' with photoshoped images, three of which were focused on doing unusual tarot cards (called That's Not Tarot, scroll down the selections, you'll find all three contests, though a number of entries were deleted, they only keep the 'best' which is about 1/4 of what people submit).

I really like the tarot cards on this magazine. I will try emailing the editors and see if they can direct me!

Those cards look familiar to me, a deck I saw online that had a theme based on the Fifties or housewives? I can't remember where I saw it right now.

I think it's The Housewives' Tarot by Paul Kepple and Jude Buffum, due to be published October, 2004. Can't find any images though.

I wrote to the editor of the magazine, it turns out it was an illustration done specifically for the cover, more's the pity. Would have made an interesting deck. Here's the email:
---------------------
Andi Zeisler drew those cards, jus the three...it's not a real deck so it can't be purchased, unfortunately.
Sincerely,

Bitch intern

I wonder if enough people suggest it, if they'd pass the info on to the artist to complete the deck? Yah, wishful thinking, but hey, can't hurt!
