Amazing! I love this Don Quixote style of the Emperor it gives a little sence of humor to the grim and serius symbolism of the Emperor card. I also like that you included the Ankh symbol life and the Eye of Horus:) I also started at some point to make the 22 Major Arcana cards, i find their symbolism fascinating but i haven't finished them yet. I hope you don't mind and because i value your opinion i 'll upload my own version:)
Boahhh! That is amazing!! Looked it in full view and I love your interpretation with all the details.
Collage has always fascinated me and I have done a few, when I was young. How do you deal with the copyrights today? Are you only using your own photos?
Thank you very much, i 've tried to recplace the older symbolism and icongraphy with contemporary ideas, events and stuff from pop culture. I would love to see your collages at some point:) Copyright issues are very tricky. There are no law in E.U. about the image artists only an american law which is the same for music and lyrics. From time to time i used my photos and photos of photographers who are friends of mine and gave me permission to use them. Mostly i find photos from the internet and this why i created an "ethical code" not to use photos which i consider that they have an artistic value, so i use the most common i could find. I also use a lot of older photos, textures and wallpaper motifs etc.
Oh, the collages I made so long ago, I don't even know where they are. But your work is so inspiring, that I'm thinking of trying it again eventually :-)
Was just reading through the threads of the hardfork universe on slak. You are quite active there, I see. Amazing ideas! I like your tarot card idea. Do you think something like my "temple of the secrets" might have any potential there?
Thank you very much, i am so happy that i inspired to make some new collages. I believe that all of your artwork has potential for the series, my ideas came through brainstorming in the channel, so through talking and giving ideas you ll find what to do:) and it will be amazing:)
