Artist's Comments

(2008) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.

The 6s stabilize and order the unbridled and sometimes destructive energy of the 5s and are associated with the sun, with clarity, order and energy of life.

In the area of the swords (air and rational mind) solar energy gives clarity and knowledge. We seek for the truth, strive for harmony of mind and nature, for objectivity, understanding and intelligence. The card may signify sudden blazing insights and unconventional solutions to problems.

For the image of the card I picked six books with the publisher’s symbol of a sword to give the six swords for the card. As book topics I used magic that had to do with air, speech, ratio and the sky: runes, levitation, astrology, arithmancy and air itself.

This is simple, but very interesting. I mean, hey, it's books. You'll not get a complaint from me on that topic :D But I like how all the straight lines contrast with your tarot swirlies. And you always do such a perfect job with perspective. The sword as the publishers logo was a neat idea, and I like you sneaking in the astrological symbols on the spines too.
