When I was working as science fiction illustrator a BNF (big name fan) named Bruce Peltz conceived the idea of a tarot deck with each card done by a different sci-fi or fantasy artist. He asked me to do one. I accepted and was hooked.
No artist can study the tarot without wanting to do his own version.
For the next thirty-five years I worked on it. At first I simply did my view of the Rider-Waite deck until I realized it was outdated and not relevant to our present day society. So I started over. I kept the form, twenty-two majors and four minor suits of fourteen cards each. I reworked all the meanings to try to bring them up to date. As a result this deck and book represent over thirty years work in research and creation. The efforts of two other people who were involved, Elspeth, and Bobbi Dresser were very important. As I am color blind, Elspeth was primarily the color person, although she also had much to do with other aspects. Bobbi was the leading light in getting the book to its final form. Without them the deck might not yet be done and certainly not this well.
It was finally published in 2001 and that’s another story.
Oh yes, my card in the Bruce Peltz Fantasy Tarot is the three of Swords.
The Nybor Tarot is only available through Nybor Mystical Art.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.

 

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.

 

Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.

As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.

We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.

Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"

A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?

After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...

Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
