I have just finished the production of the Diary of a Broken Soul, an amazing tarot created in exquisitely detailed pencil drawings by Ash, one of the members of this forum.
http://www.alchemywebsite.com/tarot/art_tarot18.html
I first saw this on the Tarot Deck Creation section of the Aeclectic Tarot Forum, and watched with amazement as it evolved and grew into a tarot deck. I am very happy to have been able to publish the Majors as a part of my growing series.

I wish I was. My income has decreased so substantially that I doubt that I will ever buy another deck. I shouldn't look ... then I wouldn't get so depressed, and I am depressed. I, too, want this amazing deck.

Mythos, please don't feel bad. Its just a deck. Your post means a lot to me though, especially because I go through these "episodes" too. You're not alone and I am glad that you paint because art is my personal therapy.  I've seen your work and they're awesome! I can see how you use colors to brighten the way though I sense sorrow in your work despite the colors. I hope art does the same for you what it does for me.

Oh Ash ... it is so much more than 'just a deck'. And you have read me like a book. Art is my personal therapy too, and I am drawn to colour like a moth to a flame ... but yes, the sorrow is there ... always.
I have given lectures on 'Chronic Sorrow', a condition which people with intellectually disabled children live with. My 33 year old son is intellectually disabled. It is also a condition that, though I am unaware of any research on the matter, sufferers of genetically inherited major depression experience ... c'est moi aussi! I also find that art, writing, making music and so on are often correlated to such conditions. I suspect that decks with depth, such as yours, reflect this in a way that the mass-produced decks do not.
Consequently, the decks 'as therapy', like yours, strike a chord with so many of us. Emotional pain is, after all, a part of the human condition. These are the decks that 'speak' ... and I don't necessarily consider this in terms of readings. I don't 'do' readings, but such decks speak to me nonetheless.... that is except my own.... consciously anyway.

I also received this fantastic deck, and it is an amazing creative work indeed! The artwork is incredible and transporting, and the production quality is superb.
Thank you Ash for sharing your fascinating visions, and thank you Adam for bringing them into form so others may be inspired by these explorations!
