Killerpancake Illustration is the cursed tarot decks and fine art horror prints for feminist goths and queer kids created by Genevieve Barbee-Turner in Pittsburgh, PA.
Artist Genevieve Barbee-Turner and Intuitive Reader Sarah McKenzie hope to raise $73,100 to create a tarot deck inspired by Appalachian folklore and urban legends of Southwestern Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Eastern Ohio.
Figure drawing sessions are a low cost and low barrier event for artists of all skill levels to practice translating the human figure from the 3D to the 2D plane. Killerpancake has a list of all the sessions in the Pittsburgh region here.
Queer, feminist, goth tarot deck
Be immortalized as your favorite ghoul
Cover your walls with devotion to darkness.
At first glance tarot appears to be a very opaque subject but I want to change that. Read the new series of blogs about my tarot journey and start yours.
Killerpancake Illustration creates reactionary art about society's disdain for women and queer autonomy. Inspired by a history soaked in fear over "hysterics" and "misfits," my work embraces the "dark side"—or as I like to see it, the path of body autonomy and honoring the dignity in people regardless of what they look like and who they love.
I use tarot as an artistic medium to explore a variety of topics including portraits of mental health, the queer body, and the effects of late-stage capitalism.
The one cult I’d be a part of!
The gold edging really makes this deck stand out, to the point that I want to frame the deck, it’s so beautiful. Definitely a deck to get for any tarot collector.
Wonderfully illustrated and creative
It's got original, inspired artwork and is printed on high-quality material. Well worth it!
This experience was so fun. From the beginning of the process of pics and personal objects and learning who were Karen’s familiars. Then came the end product. I was so psyched to see how you put everything together and the Appalachian Witch came alive. I imagine she is putting a spell on me as I stare at this portrait on our fireplace mantle. I highly recommend others to delve into this co-creative process and see what comes alive for them.
