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.

The day before my mother and I fled the approach of Katrina was just gorgeous.

I think part of my vision for this card is the unpredictability of it all. You don't know when it'll happen; you could be casually walking to work on a beautiful day when suddenly a car goes careening off of the interstate overpass and gets you.
Some tragedies reveal new possibilities. I wouldn't be living a happy life with my boyfriends if not for Katrina smashing into New Orleans and destroying most of my possessions. But that's all in how I recovered from that event.

There is no Spiderman.
Those webbed-up gifts you find on Spidermas morning are from your parents.

Be interested in seeing a real deck out of this, enough for a commission:)
