For the last two and a half years, I have been working on a Tarot deck with three other artists: Carrie Ann Baade, Martina Hoffmann and Michel Bassot.
We divided the Major Arcanas amongst ourselves and each of us have a suit. I have the watery emotional suit of Cups.
I finished my Courtcards early in the game and recently I have been testing frames in the layout:
This is the idea but my friend Gromyko Semper will draw something more elegant and in a silvery or gold ink. To be tested!
I was never happy with my Queen of Cups happy face. She made a great angry Queen but her happy face felt strained and ugh just wrong. My beautiful muse was not being done justice. I tried repainting her since this photo was taken but I couldn't get it right.
So I am painting her over! I shot this photo this morning ...still working on it...especially the crown and dress. I will photograph my new muse this weekend and start the angry face...
and a snapshot of the face:
Hoping you like the new face better!
I haven't updated my site in a while but if you want to see some of my other cards, here is a link:
