IN A NUTSHELL
 
A fine art print, made to order, of the Star card from the Spirit Vertigo Tarot concept art, 8x10".
 
SYMBOLISM
 
The Star in tarot symbolizes healing, hope, and renewal, especially after a time of hardship, trial, or disaster. It's the pause between an exhalation and an inhalation--a moment where we still ourselves and survey the landscape after letting go of something past, but before creating something new. The Star's light in the dark serves as a beacon, guide, and aid to navigation.
 
In this design, we revisit the landscape of the Tower in another time, undisrupted by design, disaster, or light pollution. The only human elements are a horrifically tall ladder, and a figure so small in proportion to the landscape, we can't tell anything about them beyond the fact that they've climbed up here for some reason. The height of cliff, the boom of wave, the expanse of sky, and the population of stars must surely overwhelm the senses, and drown all cares. Take a breather. Scream into the Void. Don't even think. Be small and be well.

This print features concept art circa 2015 from the Spirit Vertigo Tarot, a deck in progress which I will be reworking in a new medium as I no longer use this fine marker technique. The initial concept illustrations will only be available as prints and posters. I’ve selected highlights from the deck in progress to feature in the shop, but you can order an 8x10” custom print or message to request a 16x20” poster with any of the images currently on the Spirit Vertigo portfolio.
