Welcome to my page! After using Instagram for my artwork for years (@legendoftamar), I am ready to spread my wings further!... to Tumblr. I'll be sharing my progress on my new Tarot deck I am working on. Hope you enjoy!
---
In crafting my tarot deck, I aim to honor the timeless Rider-Waite Tarot deck, while infusing it with my personal twist. Inspired by its classic symbolism and imagery, I sought to imbue each card with my own aesthetic preferences, subject matter, and color palette. Additionally, I wanted to incorporate Armenian elements into select cards, adding a touch of my culture to make the deck even more meaningful to me. Some cards closely resemble the original, while others take on a completely different interpretation.
Let me introduce you to the first card of my tarot deck: the Fool! 🍄
In this design, I’ve captured the essence of innocence and exploration, embodying the spirit of a journey just beginning. As the Fool steps onto the path, filled with wonder, they carry the promise of new beginnings and endless potential. Drawing inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, I envisioned the Fool traversing a whimsical woodland scene, evoking a sense of curiosity and adventure. In my rendition, the Fool is not accompanied by the traditional loyal canine companion. Instead, they are joined by a wise and transformative caterpillar, symbolizing growth and the wisdom found in embracing change. It’s a voyage of self-discovery, where the Fool discovers that true magic lies not in the destination, but in the journey itself.
Join me as we explore the Fool’s tale, uncovering the magic within and beyond, one card at a time.
