PART 2: Oracle and Tarot Deck Creation with Coleman Stevenson

In Part 2 of my conversation with tarot and oracle deck creator and all-around artistic powerhouse Coleman Stevenson of The Dark Exact, we dig into the practical, business side of being an independent creator that not many people talk about! From small-batch printing, to creative inventory storage struggles, to deciding whether or not to put gilded edges on your deck, Coleman peels back the curtain on running a one-person business and also offers excellent, real-talk advice for prospective deck makers. If you haven't listened to Part 1, I definitely recommend doing that to get Coleman's insights on the creative process of making tarot and oracle decks! It's right before this one in your feed.
