A figure sits above a waterfall on a cliffside with an archway in the foreground. On the archway is a bowl holding a star, and within the arch is a line of Wormrōte meaning 'ease'. In the upper left of the frame is a grouping of five small circles divided into two on the left and three on the right.

A small, centered panel shows two dice - one white bearing a two, and one black bearing a one. Around them is a three-armed, winged, rainbow-colored, ribbon-like entity, a detailed gray frame with a tree, fruit, clouds, stars, and a sigil, and the word 'break' in Wormrōte in the upper left.

Ace of Cups, with a little High Priestess sprinkled in 🌙⛲️
Digital collage illustration combing elements fro the tarot cards Ace of Cups and The High Priestess.

Snippets of old paintings create a watery waterlily landscape against a blue sky. A chalice sits center with water flowing flowing out like a fountain. Above the chalice flies a dove with a rose in its beak, and at the base of the chalice sits a crescent moon. A dark pillar sits on the left and a pale pillar sits on the right.

In a small, centered, blue panel, a shadowy, three-armed figure looms over a crescent moon. The panel is surrounded by a series of elements: a horizontal, cross-like sigil on either side, a red calligraphic mark on the left, and a golden figure of Mūn in the upper right. Below her are the Wormrōte for 'break', a decorative mark, and two dice - one black bearing a two, and one white bearing a one.

I thought I'd start a regular thing where I feature some of my favorite client work! There's no better place to start than with the album cover for Victory Over the Sun's "Nowherer" — votsband.bandcamp.com/album/nowherer
An album cover for Victory Over the Sun's 'Nowherer'. On it, a heavy, many-eyed, twisting ring holds an offering bowl and flame over a pyramid with indecipherable text. Cutouts and collage of music and lyrics decorate the forms, and the background is a pink sky with cutouts of clouds, a star, and wings.

Riffing off my last collage with this, Home Among the Lilypads! 🪷 It’s a fun challenge seeing how many different collages I can make from one piece of media.
Collage. Individual lilypads and waterlilies are cut out and arranged by how the shapes interact with each other. From the centre, a white silhouette is cut out from the lilypads to create the negative space shape of a simple house.

Post Juneteenth post to say it's weird to me that we only see photos of the Civil Rights Movement in black and white, when they share history with the 60's - a time when colour photography was so prevalent it was booming. Here are some photos of Civil Rights movement in colour
A block from a King rally in 1960, white photographer Bernard Kleina caught white agitators vandalizing the car of a Black family.King at the August 1966 Marquette Park demonstration. I find this photo particularly interesting. The people in it, the fashion, the facial expressions. This could have been yesterday.. A photo by jordan J. Lloyd taken in 1963 of a multiracial rally where of a quarter of a million people marched peacefully on Washington to highlight racial injustices and put pressure on Congress to pass a civil-rights bill proposed by President John F Kennedy.Rosa Parks speaking at the multiracial rally mentioned in the previous photo, in 1963.  Seeing her in colour is powerful - seeing the texture of her hair and the pattern of her dress, seeing the modern look of her fashion and her sunglasses, even the technology of the mics, looks more recent when shown in colour. Seeing her in color makes her look like someone you could know, someone you might talk to at the sandwich shop while waiting for a lemonade ( I just drank a lemonade so it's on my mind. It was good)

And to cheer myself up further I put up this print that I got and framed months ago and that had been waiting to be put on the wall since. The art is by @helveticablanc.bsky.social and it is such a beloved piece of creative advice/motivation. helveticablanc.com/20240624-mak...
The wall of my office, with two very thin black bookshelves and a large print in a black frame showing Helvetica Blanc's piece, "Make Something". The art is a highly abstracted comic page of sorts, in cream, black, and red, its style almost calligraphic. The panels show drops of a red liquid progressively forming a deep pool. At top left, a crown of thorns with a single eye spreads out its wings, framing the page. Its words run through the page, just a few per panel: "If you want to make something big, first make something small, and something small, and something small."
