Why did you make this work:
I first started this project back in 2016. At the time, my drawing of the “Ten of Swords” received a lot of attention on social media and many people were requesting my interpretations of the full deck. Taking the traditional tarot cards meanings and illustrations, I created my own version with minor variations. It took 1 year to create 78 cards.

How was the illustration used:
Tarot deck, book, prints

How did you make this work:
Mio Im’s Tarot started with a pen and paper which moved on to digital coloring. After researching the traditional cards and their meanings, I adapted them to my interpretations and designs. Each card has an organic meaning to them, different from their traditional meanings as well. Mio Im’s Tarot is a tarot card deck as well as an illustration book.
