Tarots

Like many who draws, I tried my hand at drawing a set of Tarot cards. 

Well, not really, because I did not use the standard seeds for the Minor Arcana (i.e. the playing cards) and I can easily be accused of blatant disregard for the traditional iconography of the Tarots. 

Truth be told, I wanted just some kind of big-ish project to follow that did not require the steadiness of mindset that making a comics really required. I did not think that I would finish it - as I did - nor about what to do next. 

I did not really believe in its commercial value - a lot less than my friend BlackDaVinci does - and I mostly thought about it as something to leave behind in case I suddenly croak. 

Anyway, I have done it. I must decide for a final print format and see how it expensive it will be to get them printed - it would necessarily be a small run, no photolithography -  and shipped, but it is  costing me a lot to just gather the courage to take and to go a printing shop.

If it does not work out, it is a little heartbreak. If it does, it risks bringing me out of the shadows of the web. Both results frighten me - God, I am pathetic

Anyway, you may have seen some of them before, but here's a small selection of the cards. As you may notice, my Minor Arcana seeds are Clamps and Cups (tits, really, but it felt a bit too crass to use them directly), Dildos and Pears (of Anguish).

 





For the time being, I live you with the Major Arcana that I like the most, the Devil. And may Robert Mapplethorpe forgive me for making a woman out of him.

Les Amants du Pont Vieillot

 

I am not much in the mood to write, lately. I feel alone, sad, hopeless etc. I give you this drawing, hopefully you can fap on it. 

See you next time.
