Lisa Frank tarot cards make the future look bright
Behold, Lisa Frank tarot cards. For insight into your future, look to the neon rainbow-hued past.
The deck, designed by Ariel Hart, pairs the the Major Arcana with collages made from a clever mix of Frank's illustration and the designer's own work.

She tells Mashable that she drew inspiration for the deck from two distinctly adult takes on childhood icons: Nihlisa Frank -- the popular Tumblr that plasters nhilist messaging over Frank's rainbows and unicorns -- and the Japanese American National Museum's Hello Kitty exhibit.
"There was a Hello Kitty tarot deck there, but also Hello Kitty vibrators. Hello Kitty motor oil! Hello Kitty sanitary napkins!" she wrote via email. "That's wild to me. Leveraging what a lot of people viewed as a children's brand for, what lacks a better word: Adulting."
While there is a sincere element to Hart's tarot deck -- she said her first tarot reading was "eerily reflective of what I was going through at the time" -- for the most part, it's meant to make people laugh.
Her favorite card? The Hanged Man, featuring an denim-clad koala literally clinging to a polka-dot pole.
