Wow, these are all beautiful - I can see them all except for the Black Mountain one, for some reason. My favorite right now is "Medicine". The "Housewives" design made me smile. Tarot decks really are works of art. :)
Ellemeno:
Lee, what are we voting for? Is it to say that we want our Brokeback Mountain deck to look like the one we vote for? Or to say which ones are the most visually appealing to us? Or that we like the wording of the books that come with it?
My favorite deck is "Motherpeace," I've used it for about 25 years. I wouldn't want our BBM deck to look like it though.
Medicine Cards are cool, but they are not a tarot deck.
Thanks for introducing so many decks here.
Front-Ranger:
Thanks for your question! I am asking people to select up to five styles that they like in order to get an idea of what styles would work best for the Brokeback Mountain tarot cards. Should they be photographic, or painterly? Simple, or complex? Emphasize decoration or emphasize one central illustration? That kind of thing. The words don't matter in this case.

I choose this one based on both my personal taste and on what I think best fits BbM. It's striking, simple, and spartan, kinda rough. The Mythic style appeals to me but less so. The others seem too modern, decorative, and/or busy for me.
I never knew there was so much diversity for tarot cards. Thank you for pulling all these together.

I was thinking exactly along these lines - and this is one of the styles I voted for. I like the idea of each traditional card being illustrated with a related theme from BBM. :)
