This is a small project that managed to become a rather big project I worked on 4 years ago.

 

Originally made for an art show in which all the pieces will be done on MTA metro cards. So as I was thinking of an idea for this project, I realized that metro cards, aside of being a way to get into the metro, are, indeed, cards - and from there, the path to Tarot cards was really easy.

All the imagery used for this deck was taken from Fashion magazines of May 2010. I wanted to use something just like the metro cards, which is transitory and of the moment. Combining patterns, tarot archetypes and imagery for something that isn’t so traditional as classic Tarot and isn’t entirely of now.The basic 22 major arcana cards are enough to read fortune, meditate and use for divination and search of advice and guidance through life.

 

Each card is about 3.5"X2.5" (Standard poker deck size).
