I made these trading cards when I was crabby and mad at the world. The inspiration comes from a song by XTC - album: Skylarking (1986).

More Ravens

Here I've got two ATC's (artist trading cards)

Yes, more Ravens...I don't know, it's just a 'thing' lately.

I would go into great detail explaining how the numbers coincide with the words associated with the Raven, but I figured you didn't want to read a novel...besides you can probably figure it out. If not, then just make something up - I don't mind.

A vilified ritual - The Tattoo...

As I pondered this weeks Illustration Friday topic of Tattoo, I couldn't help but wonder when Tattoos became taboos. Although that doesn't seem to be the case these days, the tattoo still has a 'bad boy' reputation. I personally don't have a tattoo, not because I think they're bad but because I've seen the saggy, gray eagle on my grandfathers arm....eewww!

I did a little research and found that tattooing goes all the way back to prehistoric times, we're talking 3300B.C. Tattooing was mainly spiritual - Early Celts would get a tattoo following the death of a loved one.

So when did it become such a bad thing? It was during the process of Christianization in Europe that tattoos were considered pagan traditions and prohibited as well as vilified.

Looks like some person is about to get "love-vexed". Natch! (as the Tart would say)
