Mischief, mastery and wit: The Marvelous Magpie

lisahuntart | February 3, 2012

Whenever I tell my friends that it’s Hermit-time, they know I’ll be largely unplugged and holed-up in my studio. If any of you follow my posts on Facebook and Twitter, you can almost identify these creative intermezzos by my virtual absences…

Stop the Presses: The press proofs are here!

lisahuntart | 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

lisahuntart | 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!

lisahuntart | 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…

My visit to U.S. Games Systems. What a fun day!

lisahuntart | August 22, 2011

Here I am posing with the legendary Stuart Kaplan, tarot authority and founder of U.S. Games Systems. I enjoyed having lunch with this charismatic genius who has brought so many visionary decks and products to fruition. He knows his stuff! Not only that, but the brownie ala mode that Stuart had ordered for me was the best I ever had…

Sketching and painting my fine feathered friends for “new project”

lisahuntart | March 25, 2011

After the intensity that accompanied the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot work, my new project provides the perfect calm that I now need to refill my creative well. Birds have always been supporting and sometimes leading subjects in my work…

Creativity, critters, chaos and the boogie woogie

lisahuntart | February 10, 2011

2011 is turning into the year of the unexpected. Instead of fearing the chaos of what seems like truncated routines, I’m learning how to accept the unexpected and to be flexible. Part of this has entailed taking on projects and creating images that I never thought I’d do: new subject matter, new methods, bold creative assertions and a sense of the spontaneous along the way.

New Year’s Resolution: Breaking the chains that bind us

lisahuntart | January 3, 2011

It’s hard to believe that a month has gone by since my last post. But given the hectic pace that was December, I’m not surprised that some things were woefully neglected along the way including my blog…

What I’m up to: Christmas Carol, Kobolds & Hearing the Tooth Fairy.

lisahuntart | December 6, 2010

When working, I usually have 3-4 drawings and paintings on boards at various stages. Some sit there for a month while others I tackle right away. It all depends on the mood I’m in and what I feel compelled to focus on…
