Tarot Card the World

11 Comments

Another inspired picture drawn in prismacolors, inks, and acrylic paint. This is my version of the "World" card for the tarot set I'm making. It's the centerpiece painting without the frame of the card in place. Read more of this card on it's description page!

It's beautiful.

I want the original but I won't be able to buy until Christmastime.

I look forward to adding my next piece. I have 2 in production--a drum and my own shaman staff.

Thank you for adding Atlantean spear and my Medicine shirt to your faves.

*Black-Feather May 11, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

I may copy that spear a bit for my own walking staff. I have a really knotted up diamond willow branch someone gave me--and some skulls. It's such a pretty piece!! You always have nice stuff though!

Why would you ruin daimond willow copying me? I am flattered.

*Black-Feather May 14, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

I ordered a horn spear tip today. I'm just hoping it's going to be 'street legal' for me to carry this thing around.

Starting working on my horse spirit drum too! Of course I broke a rasp already trying to file off the softer wood of the log hollow.

I have lots of room to play with it--and I'd do woodburning around the knotwork!!

Your work is stunning. I hope someday I'm lucky enough to have you do a portrait for one of my story characters (if I win your drawing--I'll chose the character over one of myself).

Everyone needs to check out your stuff!

It all started with a leak of Shrinking Flu virus from government top-secret laboratories in Nevada. The virus reduces human body particles and the duration of the process is random. Some lose just a foot of their height, some a few and some... Well, some are even less lucky. So far, no vaccine has been produced.
