Welcome to Roxannamundi Headquarters!

I’m an internationally published, lifelong artist/illustrator who has studied and practiced Tarot for over 30 years. Having first been intrigued at age 9 or 10, I’m now getting close(ish) to completing my own deck, 25 years in the making, thus far. The ‘Magnum Opus’ of hand-created, mixed media miniatures that brings two worlds together will be published as a limited edition, when the time comes

Unlocking secrets in the mysterious Tarot de Marseille has long been my other obsession. After reading and tossing popular ‘occult’ theories over the years, I decided to start fresh and simply let the cards reveal. Being a very Mercurial, Taurus-Sagittarius means the fun for me is in the seeking, discovering and creating something original while learning/teaching myself along the way, regardless of whether others have trod the same path. Blogging is a way to share some discoveries and let off some steam while my ‘sidekick’ and I weave together a more cryptic, literary endeavour. Sagittarius Moon is the lineage of storytellers and entertainers! Here’s hoping it will all come together soon.  ~rb

Little announcement…  I will no longer be offering chart readings,  just Tarot (albeit likely peppered with astro-insights, because I love the detective work). I’m a 5th house artist, I miss playing in the sandbox.

Just finished a cute, ‘Goth Granny Vanitas’ for All Soul’s/Day of the Dead. You can see it on the Doily Roger page (scroll down past the DRs).

HOLIDAY JEWELRY SALE STILL ON! 
Prices slashed up to 30% on necklaces and bracelets! Please visit these individual pages under Jewelry in the drop-down menu.

Before the holidays, I was coaxed out of  ‘applied art’ retirement by Aaron Louis, a New York based musician, who wanted me to create the cover and some other illos for his upcoming LP. The first two songs immediately had me bouncing out of my chair, so I agreed. It’s high energy, melodic punk/ska revival, with all kinds of other influences thrown in. Not only was it an honour, but I was able to  finally get a new computer due to this godsend! Will do a blogpost about the art inspiration, once the LP is out, but singles will be on Spotify Feb 3. Have a listen to the sampling of The Clamor here.
