found oracle (n): An everyday object that suddenly turns mystical and speaks to you with unexpected truth, revealing the magic seam that runs just beneath the seemingly mundane world.
Your chosen oracle carries a story that has chosen you in a certain time, a certain place - one you may just find is your story, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Welcome, you are currently visiting an interactive storytelling art site by award-winning fabulist author and hybrid interactive artist, Bailey Lewis.
The hybrid work mixes visual media with literary arts to create a choose-your-own-adventure experience based on the oracular character that calls to you, the peruser of oracles, in this space.
-
Yes! I am an interdisciplinary storyteller and I make the digital collage cards and other story objects myself in my studio. I concept, design, fabricate, create, and write all parts of the Found Oracles project: visuals, objects, characters, stories, interactions, and overall experience. All art you see and encounter here is my intellectual and creative property.
-
Sales of the cards and story card decks are currently closed. I am seeking a publisher or art book press to help me bring the oracles and their stories into the real world in a way that truly captures the magic you experience here. If that’s you, give me a shout! No sales pitches from vanity presses, please.
-
No. While the concept plays with the format of oracle cards, this is an interactive storytelling art site, not a card reading service.
-
The Found Oracles are oracular characters, each with a story to share with the person who chooses to receive it. In the world of oracles, an “oracle” is anything from the everyday world that carries an unexpected truth - ancient as myth itself, yet as relevant to modern life as can be.
-
No, not without written permission from the artist and Found Oracles. All oracle characters, concepts, stories, artwork, and writing are the intellectual property of the artist, Bailey Lewis, and Found Oracles, LLC. The work is also part of the art practice coming out of Bailey Sends Word Story Studio. This is proprietary work offered for personal enjoyment, but all rights belong to the artist.
-
Yes! I am open to collaborations and cross-overs with aligned projects and partners. If you’re into the interactive and mythical, mystical world I’m building with the Found Oracles and want some of my storytelling for your own world, reach out at: hello@baileysendsword.com.
Please note: I do not take on ghostwriting, copywriting, or freelancer projects. Instead, I tell my stories from inside your world to turn the objects, characters, and/or spaces inside of it into living lore.
