In with the new & an ode to the old

A birthday commission for some fellow Astorians!


And, alas, I have FINALLY uploaded individual images of my Houdini Tarot cards from my thesis last year. Instead of adding all 22 here, I've made a folder on my other site so take a look if you'd like!!

One more week of vacation, then it's back to the grind that will wholeheartedly include figuring out what happens in May.
Until then, I've enjoyed family, friends & now more of New York. 

Amazing how quickly this season comes & goes...

Happy New Year, all :)

Houdini obsession...

Handcuffed to Houdini.

The "Kings & Queens" Thesis show went up in the Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea in NYC. Pretty amazing.

My body of work. 22-Tarot cards based on the life & world of Harry Houdini. The cards are those of the Major Arcaena, numbered 0-21. They are a journey- e a way to eximane the inner psyche & psychological evolution one must undergo to become balanced. The symbolic nature follows that of the traditional tarot cards, however I used my artistic liscense to alter the imagery in such a way to be more representational to Houdini.

They are painted on 7x9.5in massonite, cut & rounded to shape, then covered in canvas.. The .25in thick edges along with the letters are goldleafed.
