#108 - Evan Doherty of Arcane Bullshit

Evan Doherty is the Toronto-based creator of Arcane Bullshit, a darkly hilarious, many-tentacled project with a cult following that encompasses weird merch, macabre memes, the Arcane Bullshit Oracle Deck - and now an upcoming book. Arcane Bullshit juxtaposes vintage found imagery from mythology, biology, and history with surreal, absurdist captions. The Arcane Bullshit Oracle Deck is Evan’s twisted send-up of tarot, with 106 cards designed by him, and he’s been making these cards since 2011. He’s run two successful Kickstarter campaigns - one in 2018 and another 2021 - and just launched his third for the forthcoming Arcane Bullshit book called Stop Looking at My Tiny Town. As Evan puts it: “Arcane Bullshit has you covered for all your cosmic confusion needs.”

On this episode, Evan discusses his evolving ideas about belief and skepticism, the inspiration behind his various satirical art projects, and how he maintains his foolish, nonsensical sensibility.

Pam also talks about the divinity of humor and answers a listener question about how to lift an ailing friend’s spirits.
