I've recently just returned to Los Angeles after a month and a half of traveling around Colorado tying up loose ends, resurrecting my car, gathering my possessions and making good on commitments. I completed 2 murals, one of which is going into the animal expansion!
It feels great to be back and setting up my studio for shipping and receiving.
At any rate I'll be doing a a New Moon reading tomorrow night bring your questions and come hang out! I would love to chat with everyone about the print and play and the rest of the expansions.

ESP CARDS - Spiral Bound Expansions -

Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for your patience!
First the good stuff: the Oracle
-Everything is going smoothly and I'm finalizing details with the factory on the final product.
-I still need to draw and write the rest of the love and romance, yantras, and a few ancestor and dead cards
-I finished up some ESP cards during a Treehouse artist residency in Denver:
-I have completely reworked, reborded, and recolored the cards after working with lots of printers to ensure consistency and high quality of the prints.
-My Lawyer advised me to hold off for a bit on releasing the print and play! I will update on this soon.
-Shipping times are still looking like Late August early September, I will update on this if anything changes.
-The All Together Now Patches, Burn Your boat Pins, and Oracle coins are made and are on their way!
-I'm in the process of printing the oracle cloths domestically.
-I'm playing with the idea of having the book pages of the expansions as a spiral bound book that can be added to. This will coincide with the print and play, if you want to add more to a secondary book this seems to be the best option.
And a life update:
I drove 1500 miles back to Colorado on July 1st. For those of you who have been following my journey, I left exactly 1 year ago on a pilgrimage to find myself and read cards while riding trains around the western United States. What a year it has been. After traveling for a year I decided the best move would be to set up shop in Los Angeles where I now have a (empty) studio. I returned to Colorado just as my brother was getting released from a very intense surgery. I'm happy He's doing really well now!
On the trip back to Denver/Boulder, I was car camping with my partner in a WalMart Parking lot in Durango, Colorado (there was no where else to stay due to the holiday, whoops) and at about 3am we were awakened by loud meowing inside the car. Despite the clear and familiar meows, there was no cat to be seen. When I woke at 7am I got the news that that evening my darling cat, Daisy had been frightened by fireworks, fled into the road and was struck by a car, taking her life. She visited a few times after the fact and Sunflower bloomed on her grave the day after I buried her. She is at peace.
I've spent the last week in Denver working out of a treehouse, for an artist's residency focused on drawing. It's been a dream to have the time and space to experiment with dry media as well as further the progress on the cards.
Tonight @ 5pm-8pm I'll be at the Dairy Center in Boulder with a table full of cards for you to play with! I'm lucky enough to have the Oracle grace the building!
Omen, the Raven has flown the coop and joined a gang of other Corvids. I'd never been so tired in all my life, waking up at 5:00 am everyday to teach him how to fly and forage, and feed him! What a cool guy. He flies over the house squawking in his very distinct voice to say hello. I can't wait to get back to Los Angeles
It's taken me a while to post an update because of the sheer amount that I'm currently doing. I also run my own company. Despite the loss of my Daisy, everything is going well!
The Future: I hope to set up more integrations on my site that will include classes, do more live readings, and be more active on youtube. I am at a point where I realize now that I am needing going to hire some folks to help me with the workload which will make me more productive and the process of connecting with everyone a lot easier!
Thank you all I am so grateful for each and every one of you,
Neeff
Shipping dates - Omen, the Raven - The Zodiac

Hello all!
It's been a while since I last updated. So much in my life has happened recently.
OMEN
First and foremost a raven has adopted me. I have always had a close relationship with nature and I love befriending wild animals. I grew up in the deep wilderness of Wyoming where I came to understand that when we are in right relationship with nature, Snow White moments are real.
This is Omen the Raven. He is wild, lives in the area and he has taken a liking to me. He wakes me up everyday at 5 am and I'm genuinely tired but it's worth the interaction. I did some Raven spirit magic to meet this boy and am telling the story of Omen the Raven in my mailing list, if you haven't yet, please join! http://eepurl.com/haxELn (Also, before anyone raises concerns suggests, I've contacted many wildlife organizations, have a lot of support from people within game and fish, and he is not diseasedin any way ^___^He is not captive and there is nothing illegal about befriending a Raven!)He is my heartandhe is going to be helping me read forrtunes over on youtube and tiktok.
ZODIAC
The expansions are coming along nicely and I'm nearly done with the Zodiac Expansion which is the most labor intensive! Here are a few.
SHIPPING DATES
The shipping dates for the Mercury Oracle are getting pushed back a bit as I'm behind on drawing everything, but the purchase order was placed and I'm waiting for some Dummies to come in the mail! I expect we will be shipping in late August or early September!
Love Y'all and Thank You!

3. My Participation in the Discord is slow moving! I apologize! But i will get back to it shortly!
4.I've been in the middle of a move to another state. I acquired a space in a shared art warehouse this morning in Mission Junction, L.A. Yay!
5. I had a short stay in Topanga Canyon where i was able to work on a commerative painting (you might recognize Ms. Fat Moon) that I think you guys might enjoy, If you have not yet subscribed to my youtube channel, please do so! Now that I have a work space again (I'd been traveling for a year and hadn't stopped to paint in some time):
