The Chattering Tin Man

Hand-illustrated tarot, Lenormand, and cartomancy decks by Patrick Spargur & Sabrina Saldana — each paired with a free, interactive reading tool built from the artists' own words.

"Tarot has been my way to understand the world, to tell my story, and to connect with every sort of person you might encounter in your century on earth."

The Fox's Wedding

An original tarot deck built from Old Master paintings and hand collage, with a guidebook written by the artists themselves. The reading tool draws first on their own words, then on Jungian archetypal psychology — never on generic tarot tradition.

La Femme, from the Paris Lenormand deck
Lenormand · 36 Cards

Paris Lenormand

A hand-painted deck in the style of a 1930s Parisian fortune-teller's personal set. Every quatrain has been archivally transcribed from the original French, damage and all, then translated with care — the reading tool never substitutes generic divination copy for what's actually written on the card.

The physical deck is in production — the reading tool is live now.

Tequila Steeringwheel

An alternate-history playing card deck where Cycladic, Roman, Greek, and Enlightenment English civilizations never stopped touching each other — each suit's royal court rendered as classical sculpture, set against that culture's present-day descendant city.
