Tarot











































Today I started a series of works based around the iconography and symbolism of the Tarot deck.

This all sort of spun out of an idea I had for a comic strip or at least a narrative series of work which was going to be themed around Tarot and how the iconography relates to current events, e.g. The Tower and it's application to the attack on the World Trade Center. All well and good, but I'm not primarily a writer and aside from a few snapshots of images I had in my head it was far from being anywhere near complete.

Time is money as some idiot said, and this is a bit of a pro-bono project, so I decided to use the snapshots I had prepared and directly apply them to the Tarot deck. Time will tell if I can get through the 21 Major Arcana (let alone the full 78 cards in the Tarot deck!) but already it would be nice to see these printed as a set. We shall see!
