Astrobotanica Playing Cards
Five of Hearts: life cycle of the frilled tulpa frog
It's been a while since I posted here, but that's because I've been working hard on several art projects going on at once. I've created a 14 Facebook page where I post in-process images of what I'm working on and also whatever happens to inspire me. I'll always post images of the finished illustrations here on Resplendent Chaos and also over at Gallery of the Absurd, but if interested in viewing more of my work, seeing more detail and watching the process, come "follow" me on Facebook. Above, Five of Hearts: life cycle of the frilled tulpa frog. I'll write descriptions of each card once I finish the deck, but for now, here's more info about TULPA.

King of Hearts: the unconditional heart of father and child
The encompassing king of hearts with progeny proud,

With love and wisdom , his blood in their vein,
Cherished children, sweetest fruit of his reign
