About Me

About me:
The Magic Realist Press and Baba Studio


We aren't on Myspace very often these days. You may find more up to date information here:
Twitter

Our (very informal) studio blog at LiveJournal
" Making Dreams Work " - Karen's blog about starting and running a small creative business
Sign up for our newsletter (about once a month) here - always with special offers.
We run a design studio and small-press publishing company in the centre of Prague - very near to the castle and surrounded by weird and wonderful Baroque sgraffito pictures of mermaids cavorting with opium poppies and lambs (those Baroque Bohemians certainly knew how to put an image together.)
We unashamedly love decoration (Modernist minimalism was simply lovely - but dead as the dodo for us now), myth, magic, symbolism, surrealism, fairytales and magic. We also have a bit of a soft spot for vampires, cats and naturally vampire cats.
Baba Store, our main shop - unique cards, books, textiles, bags and more (and more and more... we have lots of new designs for 2009)
Our Etsy shop (sometimes with "one-offs")
The Tarot of Prague - voted "Deck of the Year" 2004
The Fairytale Tarot.
The Baroque Bohemian Cats Tarot - now in a revised second edition and also in a Gold limited edition
Bohemian Cats, the picture book
Shadow of the Vampuss
The Fantastic Menagerie Tarot
The Victorian Romantic Tarot - voted "Deck of the Year" 2006
The Victorian Flower Oracle
and...The Bohemian Gothic Tarot - our latest deck. Voted "Deck of the Year" 2007


As well as the tarot and oracle decks shown above, we make an ever-increasing range of illustrated textiles and "story" bags - with many more on the way. Please visit Baba-store, our main shop, or the smaller (but fun) Etsy shop below:
