(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 publishers 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.
I love the swords on the spines of the books. Very nice touch.

This is simple, but very interesting. I mean, hey, it's books. You'll not get a complaint from me on that topic 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.

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
