The Modern-Medieval Tarot is a collaborative project between artists Shayn Amber Wetherell and Tim Wetherell . It's a quirky fairytale interpretation of the 78 traditional images that make up the medieval game of tarot.

In making these images we've avoided re-creating historical scenes in a very literal way, as might be seen in a period movie. Rather we've aimed for a surreal and dream-like amalgam of the old and new. The sense of ages past with hints of the unexpectedly modern and downright bizarre. What gives the Modern Medieval Tarot its unique flavour is the mix of sculptures, real people, costumes and scale model buildings with CGI and of course a whole lot of advanced Photoshop work.

If you use these cards for game playing, divination or simply as a pictorial work of art, they're a unique interpretation of this traditional medieval game. It's undeniably modern yet retains most of the visual elements created by the original medieval artists and the many others who added to and adapted those images over the centuries.

One of the great things about this project from a personal perspective has been the numerous positive reviews it's received. No matter what we may say, all artists want people to enjoy their work and like the critics to say nice things about it!
