Porn Star Tarot
Porn Star Tarot is a collective art project that invites illustrators from all over the world to draw their favourite adult film stars to be placed on traditional Tarot backgrounds.
The project began in 2021 and received around two dozen submissions in its first year. The collection you see here is the result of our first round with links to each artist's Instagram pages.
We'll be reaching out to artists again for round two, which will commence in 2025, after Vibrating Tarot has been published. Read more about the proeject below.
Unfolding Porn Star Tarot
A full Tarot deck contains 78 cards, but we don't want to make just one deck of Tarot cards, we want to make a collection of hundreds of Tarot images featuring a vibrant tapestry of creative styles depicting various adult stars throughout the years.
I know that we'll uncover some brilliant new talent out there and at the same time hoping that established and well known artists join the project as well.
We'll showcase all the submissions here on the website and on social media, and eventually vote for the best ones to be part of one extended Tarot/Oracle deck collection.
*Nothing will be printed or published until we're able to sign formal licensing documents with the artists involved and the film stars they have drawn.
Submission Guidelines
The aim is to draw refined and mature content. Even though we're drawing porn stars, we want to honour the fact that we're creating an authentic Tarot deck.
I don't want to say no nudity, but let's just be tasteful about it. Avoid showcasing models while they're performing a scene.
This project should be the cleanest it can be. Let's be a porn star Tarot deck that doesn't actually show any porn. They'll all say it's porn anyway, and maybe it is, but let's not get sloppy with it. I want to strive for a dignified approach.
We'll draw famous stars from way back in the old days of black and white photography, and we'll bring it up through the golden age and all the way into the stars of today.
**Again, nothing will be printed or published until we're able to sign formal licensing documents with the artists involved and the film stars they have drawn. We may even need signatures from the owner of the photograph that the drawing was based on. This is where it gets tricky.
Our Next Steps
Having opened some doors in adjacent industries through the Vibrating Tarot project, I have a few leads on how I might be able to approach the endeavour of signing formal licensing documents with the film stars that have been drawn as well as the artists who drew them.
If an artist's piece is selected to be part of the collection that gets printed and sold, the artist would need to get paid for their contribution.
Anything that we intend to physically produce will be crowdfunded, so we'll work out a one time payment for each artist at the time of the crowdfunding campaign.
Porn Star Tarot will resume operations in 2025 after Vibrating Tarot has been published.
