Cards of Wu
(Find me at 50 Watts Books.)
Ellis Nadler's "Cards of Wu" is a hopefully never-ending series of woodcuts in the form of divination cards.
Thank you Ellis for sharing your work here—and for contributing that amazing Evil Orchid Garden bookplate. I have long kept up with the adventures of the Implausibility Detection Unit on Ellis's sketchbook/blog and suggest you do too.
I hope to post some of his non-Wu work soon.
***5/27/10 update: Ellis just let me know that the cards are currently being made as a hand-printed fine art limited edition (details available later this year). However, due to great interest he has now made them available to buy online as high quality digital prints.
9/2011 update: See the sequel
