The Artist's Vision

Robin Scott, a New York-based artist, illustrator, and designer living in the Upper West Side, spent nearly a decade creating The Urban Tarot. Her vision was simple yet profound: to discover the marvelous and the magical within the modern urban landscape. By placing tarot's timeless archetypes in contemporary settings—coffee shops, subway cars, city parks, and street corners—Scott demonstrates that ancient wisdom remains relevant and accessible in our daily lives.

A Deck with Depth

While visually grounded in the contemporary world, The Urban Tarot maintains serious esoteric foundations. Based primarily on the Thoth system with elements from Rider-Waite-Smith, this deck offers layers of symbolism for both intuitive readers and dedicated students of tarot tradition. The 84-page guidebook provides card meanings, spreads, and insights into Scott's artistic choices, helping readers connect with the deck's unique urban-mystical language.
