0 of VOID

The Lord of Chaos

The 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.

It 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.

It is emptiness; how will you fill it?

Divinatory 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').

Close-up of a panel on page 6 of <i>Five Glasses of Absinthe</i>. Tease, tease, tease.
