Less than two weeks until the San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium and counting! The journey has been arduous with many unexpected challenges but the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of the rainbow looms ever closer in sight!
At this point I am placing a hold on all new commissions for the next month. My apologies but amidst the final preparations for BATS and the annual Dallas Pride Parade there will be little time left to properly address unique requests. Quality is paramount to my work and I wish to ensure that all custom orders meet with the expectations of their clients. Exceptions for this will be case orders received at the Bay Area Tarot Symposium so be sure to drop by if you have a chance!
~~ SNEAK PEEK ~~
I'm real excited about this new batch of cases. Not only have the standard clasps been improved upon but I am proud to offer a NEW CLOSURE style for all cases!
On top of that additional features have become available for the Reader on the go. To see what these might be check out the teaser image below!
~~( )~~~~~~~~GALLERY PIECES~~~~~~~~( )~~
Ladies, Gentlemen and Those-of-You-Who-Have-Yet-to-Make-Up-Your-Minds, I bid you welcome! Before you now is a gallery of the gruesome, the divine, the select works in Leather and Chalk of Aaron Rathbun originals!
CASES
Practical, efficient, multi-utility, cases serve an innumerable series of functions from helping us organize or ways within the world to keeping safe our most sacred treasures. These cases are specifically designed for Tarot decks but can be created for any set of dimensions. Decoration styles vary from the basic to the unique to one-of-a-kind originals incorporating specific artwork and elements tailor-made to your desires.
BRACERS
(aka vambraces, cuffs, wristbands, bracelets, gauntlets, ETC..)
For fashion, for function, for costume perfection few things jump out quite like the accoutrements we wear near our wrists. From the effervescent elegance of slivered charms dangling from the hand of the sanguine maiden to the sovereign menace of razored steel bound to the arm of an unchained gladiator bracelets enhance more than just the aesthetic of the body but how we celebrate a diversity of being. More than a medley of tendony digits our forearms bear in them a symphony of structure, connecting our minds to one of the greatest and most versatile tools we are born with. Whether secretaries for our thoughts, crafters of our needs or dancers for desire our hands are priceless assistants in guiding the shaping of our will into the world. Why not treat them to the artistry and comfort they deserve?

About Me
- Aaron Rathbun
- A self-trained leather artisan, I have studied both locally and abroad earning degrees in Psychology, Arts & Technology. My work brings over a decade of creative study from a range of fields spanning dramatic and musical performance to sculpture, animation, film and storycrafting. My primary mediums of focus are chalk (street paintings) and leather (carving, design & construction). At its core my work infuses flow and sensuality with abstraction and narrative.
