My Lords, Ladies & Lovers:
We seek meaning in numerology. Looking for affirmationfromrolls of the dice. We seek significance anywhere we can, fearing theterror of a random universe, fearing god doesn't love us as our parents did.
Spoiler: shedoesn't.
Nevertheless, it's hard not to feel the hand of the uncaring universe in the news that sometimetoday, on the eve of the 20th Anniversary of Douglas Adams untimely death, wewill surpass our current stretch goal of $42,000. How's that for the ultimate meaning?
Generally, I have little trust in the occult and the supernatural. Whatever magic has given to me, it has taken far more away. But I do love beautiful things,and I certainly believe that creating art is the only rational response to trauma, and so I draw your attention to this beautiful setof Tarot cards created by Winslow Dumaine, and their description of it, below.
Yours, DG
The Tarot Restless is a unique tarot deck set within a morbid fantasy universe in the midst of a cosmic infertility apocalypse. The deck consists of 100 hand-drawn illustrations printed on silver-gilded cards, packaged in a rigid two-part box. The accompanying text, Restless Meditations, includes a short story, new interpretations, and new functions for each card.
In creating this deck, I took my experiences with an abusive relationship, betrayal, and heartbreak, and retold them on a cosmic scale. The goal of this work is to help guide people through traumatic experiences so that they can use their pain to foster new growth. Suffering is a part of life - with this work, I hope you use your pain to create new strength. The third edition comes with 100 silver trimmed cards and a book of lore and interpretations. www.winslowdumaine.com/tarot

A message from Dorian Gray...
I have just been informed that volume 1 of my graphical biography has been sent to the printers. How exciting, how splendid, how thoroughly captivating. But enough about me. Thank you to all of you for your support and confidence.
Now we know that we will deliver you at least one of those. The Moon is there for all. The other two you need to earn for yourself.

MERS. CHEVELEY: Men can be analyzed, women merely adored.
SIR ROBERT: You think science cannot grapple with the problem of women?
MRS. CHEVELEY: Science can never grapple with the irrational. That is why it has no future before it, in this world.
SIR ROBERT: And women represent the irrational?
MRS. CHEVELEY: Well-dressed women do.
And now there are 500 of us, men and women and all sexes, but sisters in nature. Half way through the campaign and half way to being a thousand strong. My sisters, I salute you. May you always be entirely well dressed and thoroughly irrational -- DG
PS: now that there's enough of us to have a party, let's start some conversation -- everyone post your favorite quotation from my so called "creator" that chap, Oscar, and say why you like it.

A message from Dorian Gray
My Lords, Ladies, and Lovers:
We did it, or perhaps I should say, I did it, but I will admit, that since a lady gives credit where it's due, some small part of the credit goes to you.
Stop it. It's unbecoming to fight over credit in this way. I did it, you helped, I did it, you watched - what's the difference, we're all friends here, and there will be cucumbers enough for everyone by the time all is said and done.
And music. Lots of music. That's what we're spending these bucks on. The quest for a composer begins!
Our next stretch goal, now unveiled is to enable us to expand our already legendary cast of players. A few more fine actors to fill out our company. Help us get there and we might even do some casting announcements before this campaign is done.
In other news, coming as I do from a nation of shop-keepers, I realized that we had been neglecting them, poor dears. So we are delighted to announce we are adding a RETAILER PLEDGE LEVEL. See below! A good wholesale price on both volumes of my eponymous biography.
Finally today, a shout out to a campaign I personally am looking forward to seeing come to life, because I don't believe anything beautiful should be kept away, it should be taken OUT OF THE BOX, which is what this team of brilliant Italian artists are doing with this comic book about Aliens, Horror, Mongols, Monsters, Trips, Sci-Fi, Shamans, Space, Spirituality, Spies, Tesla, Western... Phew, that lot might even tire me out, on their best day.
Toodles, go enjoy the sunshine this beautiful weekend, those of you who've earned it. I know I have.
