Last Monday, the 16th, I got a visit from the lovely Elisabeth Alba, who illustrated the
Everyday Witch Tarot. Believe it or not, this was the first time we'd met in person, even though we'd worked together for over two years! We had a great time (with her husband, artist Scott Murphy, and their dog Rayo)--and we signed a bazillion copies of the tarot set. Okay, maybe it just felt like a bazillion, but she had her 30 limited editions and I had my 10, plus we both had extras to sell on their own (or gift to friends).
She posted about the visit on her blog
HERE
She's actually even nicer in person than she had been via our thousands of emails and Facebook messages. And as a few people pointed out, we actually resemble each other! Here's as few pictures from the day.
[In an aside, people seem to be really loving the deck, which makes us both VERY happy.]

| They're here! Rayo is as excited as I am. |

| You can see my original painting of the Ace of Cups on the wall behind us. |
 |
| What do you think? Do we look like we could be related? |
 |
| Signing the box and the books. |
 |
| Still signing! |
 |
| Her pile was bigger than mine, if you can believe it! |
 |
| Trying to get Rayo to sit still long enough for us to get a picture. Ha! |
It was a real treat to finally meet up, and hopefully it won't be the last time. It turns out that Elisabeth and Scott are both beer lovers like me, so I've invited them to come back sometime to tour the local Brewery Ommegang and just hang out. (They live in Massachusetts, about 3 hours from me, so this may take some planning.)
