Damn, I was gonna write someth- Oh, yeah...
I'm going to make my own goddamn valentine's day. It'll be on the 16th of April... No, wait, that's my birthday.
SUCK IT, V-DAY!
*sings* Tiiiiis the season to be sully, TRALALALALA LA LA LA LA...

I fear the future of Malaysia and her people. I have nothing nice to say about the ruling party at the moment.

Kaye, I've decided that the medium for the Tarot cards art project will be markers. I will be making the back illustrations for the complete set of cards which includes the major and minor arcanas.

* The Major Arcana (greater secrets), or trump cards, consists of 22 cards without suits: The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgement, and The World.

* The Minor Arcana (lesser secrets) consists of 56 cards, divided into four suits of 14 cards each; ten numbered cards and four court cards. The court cards are the King, Queen, Knight and Page/Jack, in each of the four tarot suits. The traditional Italian tarot suits are swords, batons/wands, coins and cups; in modern tarot decks, however, the batons suit is often called wands, rods or staves, while the coins suit is often called pentacles or disks. (I'll be making for Swords, Wands, Pentacles and Cups)

What I haven't yet decided is whether or not the deck illustrations are going to be funny or serious, lifelike or cartoony... Or even abstract. Decisions, decisions.
