Episode 53: The Ufology Tarot with Miguel Romero

I am so happy to have talked with Miguel about the Ufology Tarot. As a fellow artist, I really, really wanted to hear about his creative process, his inspiration, his color palette and his artistic philosophy in creating a new way to look at UFOs. I was also thrilled to geek out with him on UFO history and some of the less well known books by Jacques Vallee. (Forbidden Science Vols 1-4.)

If you haven’t heard of it yet, The Ufology Tarot is a group project being created by Greg Bishop, Susan Demeter, David Metcalfe, Joshua Cutchin and of course, Miguel Romero.

With the symbolism based on the iconic Pamela Coleman Smith/Rider-Waite Tarot deck, and featuring the people, places and stories of Ufology’s history, this is fabulous UFO-based art project. It looks amazing with wonderful portraits of Jacques Vallee, J. Allen Hyneck, Betty and Barney Hill and of course, Whitley Strieber personifying four of the Major Arcana.

It will be exclusively available through the Kickstarter campaign, so if you are interested head on over and pledge your support. The video gives a great view of the cards that are currently done, and tells a bit of the story of the deck itself.

Of course, as the project moves forward, if I hear more about it, I will pass the information on to our listeners.

Enjoy!
