Hello there. I’m Sara Kathleen, and I’m an artist based in England. I do a lot of things, mostly on wood, but in the last year focused on illustration - namely tarot and oracle deck creation. I have 4 decks out, all funded on Kickstarter.
I’ve been asked many times to design a deck of playing cards. I only play gin rummy myself, but put the idea on my brain’s back shelf as a One Day project.
My father plays cards all the time though, and he’s recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Before he goes, I’d love to play cards with him using a deck I’ve made, using my little creature characters he likes so much. So this project has some sudden urgency to it, and I’m now looking at launching it in September/October if life is kind.
I’m here to learn. I have a lot of experience in manufacturing these, but I’m not a collector myself so I appreciate there is a lot to learn. I know deeply in my bones that you can’t please everyone, but it won’t stop me from trying to make something that still hits the mark with most people.
So that’s me, my Instagram is a good place to look if you want to snoop on me, it is SaraKathleenUK. I think I’ve added an attachment here of my first draft of my first card, but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve used a good old fashioned internet forum and may have done it wrong.

I love that you're here to learn and receive feedback as well as what you're doing for your relationship with your dad. Definitely here to support you and your goals.
I'll peep your Instagram and past works to familiarize myself with you more.
