Pick a Card... Project begins 8th July 2014. 12 weeks to reproduce the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot de Marseille, no frills, no Chagallesque frolics. So that's 2 cards per week. Is it feasible? In contrast to my first "Tarot del Boig"(which took five years' intermittent work), this new set of Major Arcana will be structurally faithful to the ancient "Tarot de Marseille" (as reference I am using Camoin & Jodorowsky's edition). The details are so precise that I am learning more about the structural symbolism than by reading any book. It is an exercise in timelessness, an discipline of illustrational patience - and a total pleasure. I'll publish the images as they manifest themselves ...
