Digital art seems super daunting to me, haha. Every time I see a tutorial for digital art stuff that starts talking about layers and brush settings and stuff I understand even less, my brain just bluescreens.
I do try to keep a notebook (mostly for writing notes) with me all the time - I should use it for some doodling and stuff as well. I miss visual art, but tend to come up completely blank when I try to think of something to draw.
I've bee thinking about trying a small herb garden in my kitchen, though it would require a UV light. Sadly our windows are both north-facing, so we don't get much direct sun. (My houseplants wish they got a bit more, haha.)
For tarot decks, I've only got a couple:
I bought the gold edition of the "Normal Tarot" which is really more of an oracle deck - not the traditional cards. I've been thinking about trying to use that one for idea generation for storytelling, maybe. It seems like it could be interesting to use it that way. I really like the art for this deck. The artist for the gold version goes by "charminglyantiquated" on tumblr and has had some pretty popular short comics and things.
I recently got "The Alleyman's Tarot", which was a kickstarter that just reached fulfillment. The deck is made up of mismatched cards from a bunch of different decks, including some traditional, some by recent artists, some that were commissioned specifically for this deck. There are also some "extra" cards as well.
(I also supported The Literary Tarot on kickstarter, though that won't ship for a while. That one has each card paired to a classic literary work, chosen by a different modern author. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person!)
