Finally finished two rush projects and this allows me to continue on with the Marginalia Tarot Deck.

Today it's the Eight of Coins which is based on The Romance of the Rose. Français380.

It's a real learning experience on duplicating all these medieval painting styles digitally.

So much going on here. Love the face on the shield of the satyr and the hybrid man with the unicorn horn. No idea what they're fighting about.

This is a two-for-one

First, it's another one of those "Pink Barbie Castles" we've seen in many manuscripts.

Second, it's some more of that wonderful Escher architecture which I love.

Some say vampires don't exist.

But this manuscript has an image of Nosferatu

Or … maybe it's Yoda

Who knows about these medieval artists sometimes.

The origin of the roadside billboard had its roots in 15th century France.

They caused many a fatal accident by distracting traveling knights on their way to … well, wherever knights were off to.

Don't you hate it when you've arrived for "Girl's Night Out," but they didn't tell you it was an 'in armor' night.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a forty day tour, a forty day tour.

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.

This was captioned as "Punishment of the slothful ( top ) and the lusful ( bottom )

To me, it's the greatest combination seeing it's hybrid ( man / chicken monster ) riding a snail.

Marginalia doesn't get better than this one.

A fish-hybrid … with a face in its tail … and a golden bell dangling from its head.

The Luttrel Psalter's got nothing on this manuscript.

Jack took a job as a letter messenger.

He'd walk from town to town where people would either pin letters to him or check if they got mail.

Not much of a job, but he got lots of exercise.

Hello to another #Caturday.

Here, the secret council of cats continues it's plan of world domination with lessons on purring, demanding food, and being extremely cute.

"Just stay the course. We are already in command. Let's just keep it that way.""
