The compelling art deco imagery of the iconic Aquarian Tarot, first introduced in 1970, is now presented in a charming keepsake tin.  Aquarian Tarot brought medieval tarot symbolism into the modern Aquarian age.  The deck has remained a bestseller throughout the four decades it has been in print and still resonates today with those seeking transformation.  Cards in this pocket-sized deck measure 2.25” x 3.70”.  Includes foldout instructions.

David Palladini was an American illustrator, best known for his Aquarian Tarot decks and children’s book illustrations, especially his illustrations for The Girl Who Cried Flowers by Jane Yolen. His style is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau illustrations of Alfons Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley.

Born in Italy and emigrated to America as a child, David Palladini’s dual cultural background is expressed in the lush creativity of his work.  After studying art, photography, and film at New York’s Pratt Institute, David’s first professional assignment was as a photographer for the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.

He illustrated the novel The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, and Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley (her first novel).  The Eyes of the Dragon artwork was rendered in pencil and ink on Bienfeng velour paper.
