David Palladini

David Mario Palladini (Italian-American, 1946-2019-) artist, illustrator, teacher, author, and photographer primarily known for his illustrations in the Linweave Tarot Deck (1967), the Aquarian Tarot Deck (1970) and New Palladini Tarot Deck (1996), interior book & cover illustrations, children’s book illustrations, magazine covers, self-published books, movie, musical and poster illustrations, and

album covers to name a few. His style over the years has blended and been influenced by many different art movements and art forms such as; Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Medieval, Renaissance, Egyptian, to 1960’s psychedelic, New Age images and even stained-glass design. His work is reminiscent of the Art Nouveau illustrations of Alphonse Mucha (French, 1860-1939), and Aubrey Beardsley (English, 1872-1898). Over the last 40-50 years in the illustration industry, Palladini has shared the success and spotlight with contemporary artists who have all been similarly influenced by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements and have a similar feel to their work, artists such as; Stanley “Mouse” Miller (American, 1940-), Rick Griffin (American, 1944-1991), Victor Moscoso (American, 1936-), Wes Wilson (American, 1937-), Bob Masse (Canadian, 1945-), and Alton Kelley (American, 1940-2008) to name a few.
