The Goods

Hellish week, but it's almost over. Now that it's halfway through the semester, I have a total of 11 cards done with 11 to go. It's a relief that I'm still on track.

The Tower
(abrupt change, structure/dogma needs to be torn down to make way for the new)



The Sun
(energy, optimism, clarity, confidence, the psyche)



Judgement
(rewards/reprimands for past actions, liberation, achievement or regret)



The Hanged Man
(strength of spirit, sacrifice to achieve something greater)



The Fool
(adventure, innocence, desire, leaving the past behind)



The Empress
(harvest, fertility, potential fulfilled, power, union)



The Emporer
(authority, ambition, solidarity, chivalry)



Death
(change, new beginnings, reaping what has been sown)

I have returned

I apologize for the lack of blogging. This semester has been crazy. Four academics and two studios? What was I thinking??
So here are a couple of tarot cards (in acrylic and gouache) from my Junior Thesis class. At this moment, 3 more of my cards are being displayed on the 3rd floor of bunting in the junior illustration show.

The Moon (illusion, dreams, fluctuation)



The Priestess (fertility, knowledge/wisdom, unconscious mind)



Temperance (blending of opposites, moderation, inspiration)
