 Thanks. I’ve played a bit with Firefly for idea generation for my own art. 

A thought: Since you already have a great octopus from the deck art, you could insert that into the illustration instead of the AI one. That would pull the illustration closer to your brand and create a consistency between what folks see on your feed and the deck art. 
 It’s a cool idea we can try to implement :) Thanks!
Since the technique Mar uses is so analogous and she can’t produce more of it, we turned to ai to be able to illustrate freely, in addition to some of the deck art. But will surely see what we can do with the materials we got 💩🤙  
 I remembered the video you posted of her creating her art; really impressive and yes, easy to see how time intensive it is. 🫂 
 Yeah, Mar spent 10months doing all the pieces for the 84 cards.💜 and then composing them together to photograph for the final card 📸
Very time laborious process but definitely makes the deck have that special atresanal feel. ✨You can tell it’s her mastery 🖌️🫶
(Each envelope contained the elements of one card)

 Is she on Nostr? 
 Not yet by herself, but she’s nostr-curious.
Hopefully she’ll be joining soon :) 
 🎉 
 Yeah, she’ll need to get used to “the lack of algo” . Right now she’s on insta and tiktok but she’ll come sooner or later :)
We actually did a live reading on zap.stream once and have been talking about retrying 🃏 
 I still do IG for the artists. Do you mind sharing her account? 
 we need to onboard the artists to #nostr 🫶
