major arcana #16: The Tower

[egypturnash]

Almost completely different from my original rough. It's worth noting that both this and my first rough are influenced by the imagery of 9/11; this, I think, is more lyrical. It's also adding my own layering: are these three people falling the ones we saw before as the Lovers? Is the black figure Justice? Are the paired towers one tower split in two, is this another card with a subtle false dualism message?

My life has taught me that tragedy strikes out of a clear sky, not out of the black night of the traditional image for this card.

also, I seem to be switching away from posting these with no commentary.

Are you sitting down? You're a big boy now, and I think it's time you were told.

There is no Spiderman.

Those webbed-up gifts you find on Spidermas morning are from your parents.
