Vögel


For Think Monday - Think ATCs & More's birds challenge - Bosch Vögel. Yes, the robbery of dead artists continues. They don't put up much of a fight.

I severely altered Smith's stock tarot design to make mats for 2.5x3.5" ATCs, but his design got me to thinking that Bosch major arcana cards would be fun.  Now hunting through his incredibly intense and imaginative images for tarot-ish details.  When I first saw his work, I must have been 14 or 15 and I felt like I had to hide the book.  It was like I wasn't supposed to know that adults were as crazy as kids, even adults in the 1400s.

I should be altering things more, shouldn't I?  All right, then.  Next week I will.
