The Pulp Tarot 1 edition

Concept and Inspiration

'The Pulp Tarot' by Todd Alcott is a unique tarot deck that draws inspiration from the dynamic, sensational style of midcentury pulp illustrations. Emphasizing gut impact and hyperbole, this deck presents the Tarot's principles in a more dramatic, grounded, and human context, demonstrating that spirituality can be found in all aspects of life, from the profound to the profane.

Artistic Approach

Pulp Tarot's illustrations are designed to grab attention with their saturated colors, dynamic compositions, and overstated emotions. This style, effective in cutting through the noise of printed media, offers a fresh and vivid reinterpretation of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tarot imagery.

Interpretation and Gender

Todd Alcott emphasizes that interpretations of these cards are subjective and personal. The gender representations in the cards are fluid, reflecting the masculine and feminine aspects within everyone.

About the Deck

'The Pulp Tarot' aims to reframe the allegories of the RWS tarot for contemporary times, offering illustrations that are both more grounded and sensational. This approach seeks to make the tarot more accessible and relatable while maintaining its profound symbolic essence.
