The Fool This is the first in my new series. I was initially inspired by the way Carl Jung used the Tarot to get his subjects to explore their own subconscious selves, through the universal archetypes represented by each card. At the same time, I had become aware that repeatedly we are bombarded with photo montages of women that are perpetuate romanticised fantasy of dreamy, pure, young girls, and I began to wonder what this does for our inner psyches. I know that there is much more to us that that, so this deck is my attempt to explore different aspects of the female psyche using the archetypes inherent in the Tarot as tools. It is to be a celebration of women everywhere. All Tarot Decks were designed for the epoch in which the creators lived, and their own beliefs. This one will reflect mine. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / The Fool, traditionally is about the dilemma of making choices on life’s long journey. Sometimes we get it right and embark on a series of adventures, and sometimes we get it wrong and flounder. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / I would like to thank Mr E / for planting this idea in my mind / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Featured Artist in ‘The Sisterhood and avatar of the week. / / Featured in All In Editing / / Featured in ‘Retired and Happy’ / / ! / MCN :: CK6VX-L2VY9-QYPDM / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Created entirely in Photoshop CS4.

selfportrait *
The crusader fortress at Damietta was the centre of much conflict throughout the 12th and 13th centuries, at one point defended by Saladin against a fleet from the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Virtually nothing of the old defences remain today. This is a reconstruction I was commissioned to produce to be used in publicity material for a book about one of the attackers, Ranulf de Blondeville.

In the year 2020 man has created his own demise, a simple little virus that caused a war .. the great war .. the last war .. that nearly wiped out every living thing .. all that remains are a scattered few .. disease ridden, starving, they are dead but dont release it … food is so scarce, so they prey on each other … based on the film Return of the Living dead, when the yellow cloud had descended on the graveyard where the teenagers had been dancing, drinking and playing music and then dead had risen and started to eat them.

This is from another old sketch with some notes on what colors I thought I should use from that time. This lovely fellow just barely opened his eyes and he looked so cranky. I have been experimenting with some brushes I collected. I’ve mentioned them before in my other works. Natural media brushes from many sources, but mostly David Nagel. I hope you enjoy this break from my fractals for a short bit. Created from a sketch to simulate Acrylic in Photoshop, multiple layers (about 10 due to texturing), saturation and contrast. The sketch was done at one of the raptor rescue sites when I still lived in Golden, CO.
