Elisabeth Alba

It's my birthday today! Woohoo!!! I'm 42 now but mentally still in 2006, hah!

This celebratory image is 4 of Wands from the Everyday Witch Tarot, illustrated by me, written by Deborah Blake, and published by Llewellyn Worldwide.

I'd be so grateful if you shared my art today!

My portfolio and original art shop is at http://www.albaillustration.com.

I also have signed decks, art prints, stickers, and more at http://albaillustration.etsy.com!

@albaillustration This is beautiful!!! I LOVE how the cats (the most traditional witch pet) are not being grumpy or witch-y, but aloof and playful with the spells!!!

And ofc HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! May your age become wisdom for you to share through your illustrations, as proper witches do!!! :D

Happy Birthday! 
As a newly turned 39, I get you. Mentally I'm still somewhere in the 2010s. :'D

@t_robinart I totally understand my dad now whenever he talks about college and his youth and he says 'I still feel like the same age and person I was then' - body ages but brain still there!

The amounts of times I have to remind myself to stop acting like I'm in my twenties and every 20s-something will accept me as their new friend is embarassing. :D

Happy Birthday!

That's a lovely Tarot card, and I am familiar with Llewellyn (I have their Celtic Tarot).

Wishing you all the best!

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything

Have a great year!

42

42 (or forty-two) is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. This Answer was first calculated by the supercomputer Deep Thought after seven and a half million years of thought. This shocking answer resulted in the construction of an even larger supercomputer, named Earth, which was tasked with determining what the question was in the first place. The Earth was destroyed by the Vogons five minutes before its ten-million year program to find the Ultimate Question

@albaillustration just wanted to say it looks lovely! I added a deck to my basket to get for my wife but the postage to the UK was a bit scary. I know a compliment isn’t as useful as actual money but I offer it anyway :)

@albaillustration I found the set on Amazon UK so the postage was less scary :) Hopefully you still get some pennies from that after Bezos takes his levy.
