About UUSI

Founded by artists Peter Dunham and Linnea Gits, UUSI is renowned for creating beautifully crafted tarot decks, playing cards, and illustrated books that blend timeless design with contemporary artistry. Together, they developed the acclaimed LUX Tarot, a modern homage to the Tarot de Marseille that balances historical inspiration with a distinctly original voice.

The LUX Book of Sonnets extends that vision through poetry. Written by Peter Dunham and illustrated by Linnea Gits, each page invites readers to encounter the tarot through language as well as image. Every sonnet was composed on Peter's vintage Gabriele 35 "Triumph" typewriter, lending the collection an intimate, handcrafted quality that echoes UUSI's dedication to thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship.
