the tarot of sorts

The Tarot of Sorts was completed as part of Jamey's studio residency at the WNY Book Arts Center in early 2022. This project is a hand-printed, 28 card major arcana tarot deck. Made using antique letterpress blocks and printed on a Chandler & Price platen press, the theme of the deck is based on it's vintage letterpress aesthetic. 

​​

At the end of the residency, The Tarot of Sorts was exhibited at WNYBAC in March '22,

and has been featured in a number of group shows since then.

​​​

In May of 2022, the Tarot of Sorts completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to have reproduction copies made from the original hand-printed cards. As part of the Kickstarter stretch goals, Jamey also designed 6 additional oracle cards to be optionally added to the deck and read as major arcana, bringing the total from 22 up to 28 cards.  A run of 500 decks were printed, and the Tarot of Sorts is available for purchase in both its original and reproduction forms.

​

Cards from the Tarot of Sorts have also been featured in other multi-artist decks.

"The Gambler" is featured in the Oracle of Secrets (made in conjunction with the Alleyman's Tarot).

"The Fool" is featured in the Fool's Tarot, a crowdsourced project by Akiva Leffert.
