I'm so excited to finally share a project I just wrapped up! A few weeks ago I was invited to work on a tarot card for the third anniversary of Super Punch... There was a ton of really great artists involved with the project, and the idea sounded fun - so I picked the "Three of Wands". The reason I picked this card was due to the meaning, which after a bit of research is around the idea of Dreams becoming reality/The start of a new Career/Investing in your passion, etc. Sounded like a good fit for me!
Here is the starting sketch:
Immediately after reading the description, I knew I wanted illustration to include two girls sharing the responsibility of holding the wand... The reason I wanted two was: 1. I'm a gemini and this card's meaning hit home for me, 2. There are two sides to every tarot card.
And here is the final version!
So far it sounds like Super Punch is trying to get a show set up to display all the cards, and might even print the entire deck! If you want to see the rest of the cards, check out the site "Endless Deck". It will be updated as new ones come in.
If you haven't heard of Super Punch before, I totally recommend the site. Its run by John Struan, and focuses on illustration, design, plush and vinyl toys, amazing advertisements and many other types of artsy pop culture. Frequently updated and always something interesting to check out!
Thats it for today! I'm going to go relax and enjoy the teeny snow flakes we are getting here in Atlanta. Hope you guys are having a great week so far!
