Story of my life that I'd get my prototypes in hand right before my employer let's me go without a heads up or reason.

Now I have no primary income. And no clear path to promote or launch.

But I do have free time now.

Odd answer from me. But for the last year I've been finishing the Oracle deck from my book/screenplay.

The OG deck was hideous in pastel colors to help with reading at a glance as I used it for that project. The trauma of looking at that old deckmight be why I omitted color entirely...

This I've stayed stubborn on.

I love the turn and sway of the image. How I can read the grasping hand, and the figure of whispered celebration.

What does the consort grasp for. What does the rogue steal, how did both of these once walk the same road?

So I post each day. And I collect bots who don't interact with my posts after I wind up on some dashboard for posting.

Then they don't interact with anything I post. And the algo of the rhythm assumes I'm dropping duds and hides my posts.

This is a misery machine for each small artist I look up.

I hadn't been in the cube when I made this. It meant something different then.

I am the artist, and the artist didn't know me. But the work sees me all the same.

I'm sorry if this means as much to you as it means to me now.

Is my whole feed going to be Revisions?

Starting out. Yeah.

Maybe I hope that someone is looking back at this and seeing how I started out.

The answer is next to nothing was a first draft. I think the new saying is just make it exist first. You can make it good later.

I mean if TTRPG counts... That's what I'm making.

The deck is complete. The system is tested... I've gotten samples manufactured.

So if you like seeing the process. You can come watch the madness...

While I'm talking about talking to myself.

Revise.

This was what I'd done before. It wasn't right. Because it was too right.

The cards are meant to be read. A visual poem. And a poem that only says what it says, isn't saying anything.

My inside voice treats me in a way that would annoy me were someone else to be like.

"What's the symbology here?"

Even if The Boondock Saints was the best film ever made.

Maybe I am trying to make something I care about.

Make. Remake. Revise. Remake. Remix.

What did I mean make?

Vector Art.

Made.

It's computer stuff, yes. Not Prompts. Prompts are for writing workshops.

What did I make?

A Oracle Deck! (Similar to Tarot.)

My favorite question is the why. There are so many whys.

Hello world. I make things.

Been making them.

Now after years of mental recovery... I will share them.
