The Dream:
As many of you may know, I am going to paint the entire 78 card + tarot deck featuring the faces and character likenesses of artists and community figures of Reno, NV. It will consist of the people in my life: my friends, family, my loves, my leaders. The paintings range from full color 5ftx3ft canvases and wood to 8.5x11" illustration on paper. I have been researching this project since 2010 and it consumes my thoughts. The scope and breadth of this project, while vast, is definitely within my capacity and it represents a profound step forward in my career and my commitment to art. This fundraising effort is the initial campaign that will lay the foundation for a later campaign for the printing of the deck for publication.
Why it matters:
Seeing something through from an idea to its realization is something that benefits everyone who participates in it. As an alive and growing art community, Reno needs this tarot like I do. It promises to be inspiring. Reno is a unique backdrop to grow up in and I'm proud to call it home. I am ready to let the people of Reno into my work. Ever since The Salvagery and REpiaNO projects of 2010, I have been filled with this intense creative energy and it will find its way with our collaboration.
How can YOU help:
This is a campaign to get the materials I desire, get the paintings done and eventually launch the paintings into a full deck. Please donate what you can. You will be updated through postings here and other social media as to progress on the journey!
And with all my heart, THANK YOU.
Thanks to Dave Siegel of Insight Studio, Inc. for collaborating with me and creating such amazing photographs to guide me on this tarot journey.
