I’ve completed my collection of tarot cards as album art. Most of these, I feel pretty good about. They’re all based on the Rider-Waite deck, and most of the album art I chose was because of visual similarities. However, some of them were tough to find anything close, so I went with the amount of people/objects on the artwork or the general vibe of the thing. There are a few that I might change my mind on and replace if I find more appropriate artwork in the future. Some I might mesh together a little more.
Jump to cups, wands, swords or pentacles.
