Neogeen decided to revise her self-image character. I liked what I saw, so I drew it.

0(0) - The Fool

The zeroth of the Fools and the last one I drew. The pale cyan is a placeholder for Interesting Printing Processes.

0(0) - The Fool (abandoned)

There are to be three Fools in my Tarot deck, when all is said and done. Two of them are drawn and finished. This one… call it an abandoned path, an alternate mix. This one's left on the cutting room floor.\r\n\r\nIt's the −1th fool. Too close to the Nothing, too aware of it. Not blithely unaware of where she's going enough, too afraid.

01. The Fool

A fool with knowledge is still, perhaps, a fool.

0 of VOID

The Lord of Chaos\r\n\r\nThe 0 of VOID is simultaneously no suit and all suits. It is a reminder that the unformed void lies beneath all four elements; that the world is an infinitely complex and unknowable place. It is the pre-Big Bang monobloc.\r\n\r\nIt has no elemental associations. It has no astrological associations. The void was there before the constellations were lit, and will be there when the last one burns out.\r\n\r\nIt is emptiness; how will you fill it?\r\n\r\nDivinatory meanings (tentative): The Butterfly Effect, chaos, raw unformed possibility. Potential. Things are about to happen, and might happen fast. If ill-dignified, it is 'analysis paralysis', illusions of conspiracy, insignificance. Clusterfuck.

Absinthe teaser: p.18

Another bit of teasing for that 'Five Glasses of Absinthe' comic I'm working on. This is page 18, with the dialogue layers turned off. You're missing a monologue that riffs off of the opening of Godard's <i>À bout de souffle</i> ('Breathless').
