Pisces in the Year of the Tiger
Clearly I’m here for the writing, LOL!
A simplistic, stylistic sketch of some mixed symbolism.
From a Pisces in the year of the tiger, the shark has always felt more appropriate than the little fish! In the tarot, cups symbolise the water element, and the major card, the Moon, represents Pisces.
I’d like to add the Knight of cups in there somewhere too, so this is it while I think about how.

Thanks Nicole!
So you haven’t been able to decide which side of the cusp you fell on?
Nicole Ryan, 4 months ago
depends which horoscope is better ;)
no, i’m more aquarius .. i’m 3 days away from pisces .. so just on the cusp.

LOL, cool :)
I must admit, I’ve never really paid attention to the predictive aspect of astrological horoscopes :)

Interesting….as I am also a pisces born in the year of the Tiger !!
I knew we were kindred spirits way down deep….LOL

I knew there was a reason I liked you! My hubby is a tiger pisces!
and…speaking as a reader for a mo….the ace of cups specifically represents abundance. Your cup runneth over so to speak…(or in some cases, the tendancy to over do…)
I love this image. You put it all together really well! I dig the moon-face in the sun as well…very traditional tarot.
Ok…I’m done blathering.

Excellent piece Damian! This would look great on a t-shirt!

i think your sketching is pretty good too! i can’t equate sharks with pisces tho, you’re all too nice for that!
From an apparently stubborn taurean LOL!!

Thanks Ushna :)
Damian in reply to jcmontgomery’s comment, 4 months ago
LOL, cool! Kindred spirits definately :)
We’ll have to compare notes on what the Tiger does to a Pisces :)
Damian in reply to gypsycaster’s comment, 4 months ago
Good choice Gypsy, LOL!
I like RB, seems a good place to find Piscians. I’ve only found another 2 in my whole workplace (which should tell me something, LOL!).
And thanks for the image comments, glad you like it :)

Thanks Alison :)
I hadn’t really thought of shirts, thanks for the suggestion :)

Thanks Bex :)
With the sharks, I was mixing Pisces with the Chinese year of the Tiger, and the tiger shark felt like a good combination of the two :)
The Tiger prowling in the mind of a Pisces is said to produce interesting results, although I’m sure we’re still nice :)
And you’re not stubborn then? LOL!
Miri, 4 months ago
oh yes the tiger shark…that must be a very interesting pisces!
apparently i’m stubborn, romantic, comforting, calm, controlling, possesive, loyal, jealous, above average height, voluptous with small ears…don’t you love wikipedia!!
to be fair most of it is pretty close! not sure about the small ears tho!
Damian in reply to Miri’s comment, 4 months ago
Yep, an interesting pisces :)
I’ve got a book that describes the personalities when you mix the western and Chinese astrology, and it’s quite cool, LOL :)
I’ve got a 2yo Taurus and can say that he’s certainly stubborn. Although he’s also 2, which could be enough explanation right there!
Miri, 4 months ago
that sounds really fascinating,must be a few books in that!
i’m sure my husband thinks i’m stubborn (always getting my own way apparently – but isn’t that just being female?!) but he’s far too nice to say it cos he’s a virgo!!

Love the tiger sharks! They are beautiful creatures. Think I’m an Aries Horse.
Damian in reply to Miri’s comment, 4 months ago
Haha, I think there have been a few books on the topic :)
And your virgo must be nicer than my virgo, LOL! Haha, I’m joking of course ;)

Thanks Kaitlin :)
An Aries Horse sounds like a cool illustration :)

Find the work very engaging, perhaps its the Holy Grail for sharks.

Thanks Cathie, I’m glad you like it! And the Holy Grail for sharks is a cool description :)
