The Mythic, Tarot & Fairy Tale musings of Lisa Hunt

The finished Seagull-Shapeshifter, a nomination and other Hunt-Kramerville news.

| March 8, 2013

No two days are ever the same in my humble studio. Nothing is really planned except a cup of coffee. Sometimes I work on art orders for lisahuntart.com, other days I work on my blog or mingle with my online buddies. But if I get sucked into a total art-focused groove that pretty much takes over the brain, overshadowing all else until I express what needs to be expressed…

Back from a break, new art, review and what the kids are doin’.

| December 21, 2012

For the first time since I started my blog 5 years ago, I took a month off from posting. I didn’t stop painting, I didn’t stop filling lisahuntart orders, I didn’t stop playing piano and I certainly didn’t stop being mom, family woman and friend. But I did have to prioritize and make sure that what I did have time for I did it well…

I applied mascoid to the finished drawing (a mask that helps protect the white of the paper) and proceeded with watercolor washes. *********************************************************************************************** Quick update on Ghosts & Spirits Tarot, a deck that is receiving rave reviews by respected professionals and diehard fans (and I’ve been told is selling well too!). Thank you everyone for all [...]

Ghosts & Spirits Tarot Trailer

| September 7, 2012

Believe it or not, I studied Computer Animation in the 1990s. Back then, it was an adventurous pursuit for the few brave who dared to make it their major in Art School. I was already trained in traditional art, but was fascinated by the prospects of bringing art to animated life.

The finished Hawk-Shapeshifter, thoughts on tarot and vintage children’s books

| July 6, 2012

Ghosts & Spirits Tarot has been generating lots of positive buzz around the blogosphere. I’m delighted to see such a diversity of perspectives from an impressive roster of reviewers. I had learned a long time ago never to be overly expectant about how others will respond to my work because it is nearly impossible to predict.

Hawk-Shapeshifter, Building Bridges and Banishing the Stage Fright Phantom

| June 9, 2012

The beginning of June ushers in huge sighs of relief. The intensity of Springtime activities gives way to the more layed back sounds of summer as music recitals and school finals become fixtures of a more punctuated period gone by. Now everyone can purge old papers and move on to fresh music and clean canvases, [...]

Ghosts & Spirits Tarot offer, the finished Grouse-Shapeshifter and Kyra’s piano recital.

| May 11, 2012

I’m offering a Ghosts & Spirits Tarot limited edition kit numbered 25. As of this writing, nearly 10 orders have been placed by individuals from as far away as Thailand. I’m always excited to put packages of my art creations together for people. For the custom colored-pencil drawings, the keywords so far have included: raven, enchantment, cat, Rainbow Bridge, dreamer and reincarnation…

Stop the Presses: The press proofs are here!

| January 5, 2012

The transition from 2011 to 2012 was a mix of excitement and tumult. We finally finished our kitchen, with a mere few days to spare before visitors descended on Chez Hunt-Kramerville. During that period of “out with the old/in with the new”–my press sheets for Ghosts & Spirits Tarot finally arrived…

End of Year Studio Hermit News

| December 20, 2011

I just mailed out the last of Holiday orders—drawing right up until the last possible moment to assure delivery of goodies. I can happily report that I have completed and mailed almost 40 Spirit Drawings in the last few months. What a ride and what a great way to keep everything energized in the studio!…

Ghosts & Spirits Tarot going to press!

| October 28, 2011

When the fed ex guy dropped off a fat box from my art director at U.S. Games, my happy dance alarm threw me into a whirl as I quickly tore into its contents. Out came the final Ghosts & Spirits Tarot manuscript, card back designs, card art and the long-awaited cover designs. It is hard to describe how one feels when one first lays eyes on pieces of production, but it is similar to seeing one’s artwork or earned award newly framed and hanging on the wall…
