ALOHA BRAD!
Still recovering from post-show exhaustion?
Doesn't sound like it....I expect that magician to be finished by monday! :)
ACTUALLY, i DID NOT get the Death card! I got the Judgment card!
I'm doing the invite/announcement and hank thought that DEATH would be the most iconic of the cards,,so we went with that.... I originally was gonna do one of them photoshopped fliers but it was difficult to have Death astride a MOA..the elements just didn't match up unfortunately...
So...i got's to do 2 cards!
Whatever happened to those cards that YOU did?
It'd be cool to see them,as my memory is a bit smokey,these days...
:)
Am VERY eager to see your take on the Magician...
One of the main attributes of your work is that Magical,Mystical feeling....
and the DEATH card is actually from an olde-timey French deck...Le Morte
the Rider-Waite deck has him on a horse,with a king lying under/behind the horse
with some people and a waterfall and stuff...
The old timey card lent itself to a Posada/Aztec Glyph meets EARLY Durer woodcut
not later,but the cruder earlier woodcuts of his....
now get thee back to that easel,buddy!
:)

If you would just shower every night you wouldn't have leftover burnt umber stuck to your arm :o

Mike!
Truth coming from the mouths of babes...
Some "school" nights, i stay at the studio til midnight/one AM
Being only 3 miles from the studio,by the time i leave, sleep is slowly creeping and conquering...2 out of 3 times, I just brush my teeth/wash the ciggie smoke from my face and neck and slither into bed...exhausted ....
and then it's up at 6:45 to repeat the whole thing after a day at work...
Usually, the forearms and hands are covered in ink and paint
kind of an art tattoo....
That burnt umber was due to my cramped table area whilst working..
Note to self... if you're not using the acrylic,then put all the stuff aside....
:)
