Early Happy da B-day Sigmoonda

Sigmoonda's(?) deviantart B-day is on the 15th(?) and since the excellent Sigmoonda is one of my best fan's, I will swiftly post the rest of the available work.

Sigmoonda, thank you for your attention and support SOOO much!! I am so happy to see that someone likes and enjoys and anticipates my work so much.
I want my next postings to be a good birthday gift. I don't have any of the pictorial key essays done, but I will post the JUDGEMENT, JUSTICE, EGO, 5 OF LEGS, 9 of TESSERACTS, PAGE OF LEGS, 9 OF SKULLS, and a few partial cards.

Happy d-Birthday, Sigmoonda.

My girlfriend and I had talked about how I should recognize your birthday. She suggested a drawing, which the mention of might inspire. (I might do a short series of greeting card-type works. The b-day card I would kick the series off with would be a nod, but belated.) And I had talked about finishing up the recently finished cards' essays. But, I've sort of decided that it would be a cooler gift to blitze up online all my newest shit and say to you, and everyone working on a deck too, that you should take your time and keep working.

I hope the gift doesn't seem too egotistical, like, "Hey, thanks for liking my art, isn't it cool?!" I genuinely appreciate your comments and continued attention and your dedication to your own work.

September 11th, 2010, I finished the Nine of Skulls, dedicating it to my dog. She chewed up the first drawing of the card, so I thought the dedication only apt.
I had a rule not to draw any borders during 2010, but when she ruined the first rendition of the 9, I decided to break the rule and fully restart and finish the card, and did so. This card has a different border than the rest, but I hope it will fit. (It does. Many will prefer the design.)
This card is in my top ten favorite, putting in my favorite third of what is so far finished.
I have caught a scan of both "final" drawings of it at about the same point, and just finished the drawing today. It was sort of the card of the year, picking up from last year's 6 months off.

The Sickly Tarot deck was started September 30th, 2007 -- so it's just a little younger than Sigmoonda.

Working on the Sickly Tarot has changed the way that I look at art in a way that I hope everyone's way of looking at art gets changed sometime in their lives.

Around this cusp of the Sickly calendar, I will try to finish, complete, document, and post as much, more, or better quality work than in the last six months or so. (Fingers crossed.)

As I would hope for EVERY ARTIST, this project WILL BE FINISHED.

Everyone: Do what you enjoy, and facilitate others doing so.
