Tarot: The Sun

Photoshop and MotionComputing Tablet
The Sun card is like the Garden of Eden in reverse: the innocence that lies at the end of the adventure. In the story of the Major Arcana, the Fool has come through his troubles and confusion and found his way into a flowering garden where he's invited by a little boy to come play. When he takes the boy's hand, he realizes that the boy is a part of his own nature, the part which isn't held back by adult burdens. It's about rebirth and freedom, joy and creativity, and it implies connectedness to the environment and all the things that are waiting there to be discovered.
The person who draws the Sun card might be ready to look at things in a new light. Carrying the wisdom of their latest journey, they can bring a fresh perspective to whatever they set out to do.

The sun is something Pyraxis drew for Shashi the first night we met him in person. He used to copy it a lot after that. I think it would be better to make it more kid-drawing-like than cleanly stylized. I hadn't noticed that the circle wasn't quite round. Maybe it needs the lines to be thicker. I wanted it to have continuity with the red tattoo-like lines in the Fool card.
