Tarot Graphemes

Tarot de Marseille Portraits by Paul Nagy 2012-18

The purpose of this series is to select a quotation from titles at hand, somewhat at random. Copy it out and select two or three cards at random as visual commentary on the quote. Draw the cards as best I can. “There are no Mis-Steaks.”

The point is to consider the smallest graphic unite of a tarot draw beyond the stand alone card. In this case a pip or court and a trump are paired as a 'grapheme' that depicts the significance of the quote. Once the quote is found. the cards are selected at random.
