Oh, get this...  I just discovered that there is another "Valentina Tarot" out there.  Way different than the "Valentina Tarot" I've previewed here, this deck is called the "The Tarot of Valentina Visconti" -- it's a different Valentina, yet I think it's damn weird to have the name "Valentina" on more than one Tarot deck out there.  It might be something I might have to change.  My deck I named after myself -- I thought my name was unique enough not to be duplicated so easily.  So I do a little search on my name in Google and here are a few crazy things I've found... 

Meet VALENTINA the Danish model!

Gee, guys, I didn't realize I (Valentina) am an extreme fetish model! 

Yes, I was named after the first woman in outer space.  Hey, I could be a Barbarella!

I'm a Voodoo doll as well.

If you can read Italian, I'm also an erotic graphic novel by Guido Crepax.

Looks like I'm not the only painter out there named Valentina, too.

My name in Latin means "Healthy" or "Strong" (something like that).  Find out what your name means at http://www.babynamesworld.com/

But there is only one me and that's Valentina Kaquatosh and you can find me at a Native American artist's showcase at Blue Corn Comics.

An old friend of mine, Mordechai Luchins, has this to say about me on his website:

"Valentina is one amazingly creative woman. When the studio was in place, she started this brilliant collaborative project called "Home". It even had a soundtrack. One of my biggest regrets about the studio falling by the wayside is that "Home" was never completed.

One other note about Valentina: She has one of the best grasps of how to use black space in her art. Love it."

Yep, "Home" was yet another project abandoned because there just wasn't enough people on board to really get it going.  One of these days when I have more worldly influence maybe then I'll get another group of artists and writers together to do a collaborative story.

Okay, and one last thing, for those of you who love Dragonlance Kender, I did a series of Kender headshots for roleplayers.  Visit The Kencyclopedia and get an eyefull.  And, yeah, that's enough focusing one me for one day!
