Four of Cups. An original design somewhat inspired by the Rider-Waite. A darker take on the card’s meaning, perhaps… as always, it depends on how you look at it.
IX. The Hermit. Quick sketch and thoughts.
call me up when you need
strangers often deceive
and there’s something so freeing
to call out a name
and someone’s believing
i’ve been changing my mind
through with looking behind
it’s a crash course in life
the best you can do is get by
no getting out alive
i’ll hold a light for you to see
all things in time, all you’ll ever need
something i can’t explain
keeps me running, afraid
and every day
looks me in the face and says
“who’d you think you were, anyway?”
if you’ll hold a light for me to see
all things in time, all we’ll ever need
well, you told me so
that we’d seen all this before
so what is it that keeps us coming back for more?
i’ll hold a light for you to see
all things in time, all you’ll ever need
all things in time, all we’ll ever need
“All Things in Time” by Toad the Wet Sprocket
A time-lapse video of the Empress painting. I spent quite a bit of time fussing with her eyes and face.
