Just came across this thread and wanted to let those interested in the tarot know what is happening. Unfortunately, after working myself to exhaustion last year, it came to light that the depression I have lived with for the last thirty years is actually a mild form of Bipolar. My collapse came after several months of mania where my life became all work, no relaxation, and very little sleep. It was an amazing creative whirlwind that saw me completing a good chunk of the tarot as well as writing and illustrating the Messenger Oracle, but I became ill due to exhaustion and neglect as a result.
I've always been a very creative and productive person. I am happiest with a paintbrush in my hand, but over the last year, I have had to learn to live and work to a more healthy and structured routine that involves sleeping and taking time out to relax. It's been a very challenging lesson for me to learn how to not be doing something all of the time. But after taking time out to first recover, and then restructure my life and work habits so that I work at a slower, healthier pace, I am almost 100% recovered and back to work on the deck full-time.
The major arcana is finished, and the minor arcana is two-thirds complete.
When will it be finished? Well, I have learned the hard way to no longer set 'deadlines' on this project. So all I can promise is that I am working on it with the utmost dedication and that if the steady progress I have been making continues, then I will have the deck ready for my publishers by the end of the year for release as soon as they can in 2014.
If anyone is interested in keeping up to date as to the progress of the deck I post every card that is completed on my facebook page. Serenia kindly posted the link to it above.
