The Magician

So in the interests of posterity I am scanning and flickring and blogging a bunch sketches I did years ago following a series of rather intense and peculiar dreams.

They’re not exactly works of art, but it was a respresentation of the images and the symbolism I was trying to get out, with my limited scribbling skills. Considering how utterly ham fisted I am at art of any kind I think they actually came out remarkably well…

I was getting heavily into the Tarot at the time, and poking around in my subconscious, training myself in lucid dreaming. A peculiar time, one that is somewhat hazy and forgotten.

Some of the symbols are obvious tarot references, some are from soem other hidey hole in my mind. None of it is deliberate, I just drew what I’d seen. This one is called ‘The Magician’. Flickr has larger versions if you are in any way interested.

There are more in this series that I will release in chronological order when I can be bothered to write about them. I may also edit these posts later to fill in historical exposition. Not for your sakes you understand, but for my ailing memory. I can’t remember anything unless I expend considerable energy in ‘recall’ mode for several days.
