Ron Hubbard, I am not sure how they are going to be worked out in the actual play but I am always happy to help my friends.

Drawing Myself down Memory Lane.



I have been doing a lot of thinking, a lot of strolls down memory lane, digging through my boxes of old drawings and using flickr to archive everything worthy of being so. I am trying to spend an hour each day doing this, and the efforts can be seen here-> The actual stacks of drawings rate into the thousands, so only the really great ones are making the cut. It is interesting to see how my drawing style(s) have changed over the years and various experiments that I have done to make a drawing.



As a side to this project I now have all my Tarot Drawings from way back in 1994 scanned and uploaded.
8.5"x11", ink, crayon, and watercolor on paper, mounted on card.
The drawings were done over the spring and summer of 1994. They started off as a parody of the The Rider Waite Tarot, the most widely recognized Tarot deck. But little by little the project took on a life of it's own, and I really tried to discover new forms and ideas within this old system of symbols. These drawings were made without any sketches or redos, whatever I started with I went with.
