It's only the Universe

Back in 2006, the Marc Kane created drawings for her own tarot cards. I loved the stunning originality of her approach. EAch figure has a secret: it's made from the letters for the word it symbolizes. So in 2009, I remember her laminating these cards, which became a fun Tarot deck for us. I was the one who wanted them as characters, also: I found them in one of my visionarily dream like stories, unleashed from a pyramid crypt, with some relationship with Thoth. I didn't draw very well at the time, for I barely understood the process at all.

I love how the Marc Kane marries a true carefree spirit and Love with a private manner. It shows in the art she chooses to make: it's intended at a diversionary level for herself, without worry what status might rise and fall on its popular acclaim. In those days, you would make your own crafts and rarely share photographs. But you would make something special, to you. These are the relics of your authentic life. Perhaps not as immediately heart warming as Dagger, the dog, who teeaches abstract painting to children. (100% of Dagger's profits are : look him up!). But I mean, rather, it is precious to you, to make something you value, free of demaind for its meaning to anyone else.
