THE OTHRYSIAN TAROT
The Othrysian Tarot is a full color tarot deck featuring designs taken from copperplate etchings that feature mythological figures and scenes.
Inspired by the Titans, a race of gods and goddesses that preceded the Olympians, this deck breathes new life into the old and forgotten stories. Because a lot of these Titans have no myths that they are a part of, I saw an opportunity for this project to be a jumping off point, introducing these gods and paying them tribute.
THE DETAILS:
- 78 originally designed tarot cards (size: 6.4 x 12cm)
- Printed on 310gsm
- Pocket companion booklet that all fit into a post-consumer paper tuck box
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael Ezzell uses a range of media to create his illustrations. In the stories he tells with his printmaking and painting he explores esoteric symbolism and mysticism, weaving characters and icons reminiscent of Greek and Roman myths into new narratives and worlds. Ezzell’s work presents a window through time and reality; an escape into realms of fantasy and wonder that mix and merge into one another, inviting us to question what is real and what is make believe.
In addition to his fine arts practice, Ezzell is the designer of a line of well-imagined goods, that includes pins, patches, hand-printed bandanas and totes. Each piece is rich with symbolism and evokes its own mythology. Ezzell works and lives in Providence, RI. He holds a BFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art & Design.
