Cards of Wu

Ellis Nadler‘s “Cards of Wu” is a hopefully never-ending series of woodcuts in the form of divination cards.

Thank you Ellis for sharing your work here — and for contributing that amazing Evil Orchid Garden bookplate. I have long kept up with the adventures of the Implausibility Detection Unit on Ellis’s sketchbook/blog and suggest you do too.

I hope to post some of his non-Wu work soon.
