Flick Artist: Ego Rodriguez
Ego Rodriguez
🌏 United Kingdom
Ego is a queer illustrator known for bold colors and emotionally charged characters. Bringing narrative and identity to life through expressive visual storytelling.
Queer Tarot is a reimagining of the tarot tradition through the lens of queer identity, pop culture, and the artist’s love of symbology, history, and myth.
The deck was built around four original suits, or houses, each with their own Major Arcana (representing archetypal characters) and Minor Arcana (other symbols).
Queer Tarot is a deck full of symbolism, asking you to take a closer look on each card!
“This queer tarot deck is a celebration of colour, meaning, and storytelling.
I wanted to create something that showcases insight, feeling, fight, and pride: all essential parts of the queer experience.
Each card features different characters and elements that reflect the diverse stories and symbols of our community.
My hope is that this deck offers connection, reflection, and a reminder of the vibrant strength we carry within us."

The Four Suits
Eyes
Vision, Insight, Wisdom, Knowledge
The house of seeing, not only yourself, but also others. Eyes help you make sense of what’s before you and what lies ahead: learning, foresight, and self-awareness.
Diamonds
Visibility, Strength, Radiance, Presence
If Eyes is about seeing others, Diamonds is about wanting to be seen. Owning your light, stepping into focus, and using visibility as a force for empowerment. It’s confidence with sparkle and grit.
Bolts
Power, Defiance, Rebellion, Activism
Bolts strike with energy and purpose. This house channels the spirit of the artist, the activist, the defiant. It’s about making noise, shaking systems, and claiming space through action.
Hearts
Love, Devotion, Emotion, Connection
The emotional core. Hearts explore intimacy, yearning, and the many shades of affection, from romantic longing to chosen family and the quiet work of self-love.
