The Death and the Maiden Universe, and a Decade of Disney Art

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

Alongside her Strangeling art brand and her tarot and oracle collaborations, Jasmine Becket-Griffith co-created an entirely separate body of work with writer David Van Gough: the Death and the Maiden universe, a fine art and comic project built around its own recurring characters and mythology rather than the standalone big eyed portraits her card and merchandise work is best known for, giving her painting career a narrative continuity her divination deck work does not carry on its own.

That project sits beside a different kind of card work entirely: rather than only creating her own decks under her own name, such as the Beautiful Creatures Tarot with Jay R. Rivera and the Halloween Forever Oracle with Tess Whitehurst, Becket-Griffith has also illustrated numerous oracle decks for fellow deck creator Lucy Cavendish, supplying artwork for someone else's concept and card meanings rather than originating the deck herself. That illustrator for hire relationship, credited art rather than co-created concept, is a different working arrangement from the card projects she co-creates and shares billing on, and a different one again from her long running Disney collaboration and her Death and the Maiden partnership with Van Gough.

Across gallery painting, Disney collaboration, the Death and the Maiden comic universe, co-created decks under her own name and illustration work for other creators' decks, Becket-Griffith runs at least five simultaneously active strands of one commercial art career, a number the standalone spelling bee origin story of her professional beginning does not suggest on its own.
