I'm currently in the process of creating HAUNTED: A Deck of Appalachian Tarot. In the meantime, there is a limited supply of the two decks above available for purchase here on the website and at local events in Pittsburgh.
New art prints will drop soon!
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.
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.
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!
I only printed 100 decks of CULT and there are currently 4 left.
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.
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.
