Did my final review for the MFA (master's in fine art degree) in December. The degree was awarded. I presented the following 8 cards and several recent derivative works.
Buzzed 36x48" Mixed Media Encaustic Painting (unfinished)
Calaca 2009 8.5x8.5" Collagraph Plate
Magus II 16x20" Mixed Media Encaustic Painting
Foolish Mandala 36x48" Mixed Media Acrylic Paintingthis is by no means the end. I intended this project to be the beginning of a life work. Really -- there are 78 cards in a tarot deck, there is no way I could complete that in a year and a half! I do intend to complete 10 editions of 78 cards! In the next few month I plan to re-work the fool and the magus while I research and design the rest of the major arcana. I also plan to continue creating derivative works. And of course its time to start looking for my first teaching position...
And just to reassure you followers of this project -- the design for strength and a quicky sketch of my first visualization of the hermit...

Congratulations on receiving your MFA! A great accomplishment. I think The Chariot is my favorite - such a unique interpretation of the card. I look forward to following this project, as I know it will continue.
Congrats on the MFA - it has been a long haul and you deserve accolades a bunch. It is a great project and I look forward to the next card!
