MAJOR ARCANA - WABI-SABI DERMARK TAROT

So during lockdown in the spring of last year I decided to draw the major arcana of a Tarot deck (so far a majors-only deck). The project started with my Fool card, the Innocent, drawn on the 31st of March, aka the zeroth of April, and ended on the 21st of April. Not only did I draw the arcana in my own personal style, but also in a secular/pagan vein with some Castellonian local colour and Swedish/English titles.

Illustrations for the Major Arcana-only deck were handmade during confinement in April 2020 as the April Art Journey or April Fool's Journey challenge - Card 0 was drawn on the 31st of March, ie the zeroth of April.
The main inspirations were Tove Jansson, anime, and local artists like Ripollés and Xarxa Teatre.
