Finally Getting Started

It has taken quite while to transition this blog to a subject that I hope will prove to be interesting. Finally after having settled into a new career I can begin to think about art again. Art has always played a fundamental role in my life, helping me to express my ideas and feelings and most of all allowing me to capture the beauty around me through the filter of my mind. How my mind translates reality to paper always amazes me and keeps me searching for more ideas to express. That being said, I thought I would try to give my work a little direction. I thought it might be fun to use pointillism technique to create my own Tarot deck. Tarot illustrations are loaded with symbolism. What a fun way to think about composition. So here are some examples I have been working on. It has proven to be challenging with 75 cards to a deck all having distinct meanings. I think it's just the thing to help my art grow.
