Original painting available from Saatchi Art I originally finished The Odyssey in 2008 but then reworked it in the fall of 2011 for my show “God Factory”.

An Explanation on the Design of the Lovers Major Arcana Tarot Card

Lovers from Tarot of the Morning Star Inspiration for my depiction of the Lovers tarot card came in part from Paolo Uccello’s  painting of Saint George and the Dragon.
