“Ruthie”

Prismacolor on paper, 21x16”

In honor of Women’s History Month and belated International Women’s Day, here is a portrait of my favorite iconic lady! While I love all of Ruth Buzzi’s characters and they’re widely remembered and loved, I also want people to remember that she is fabulously funny and beautiful as herself.

Card Meanings for The Draw: Simply Meant To Be

My charge with The Draw: Simply Meant To Be was to meld a couple's love of poker and the iconic film The Nightmare Before Christmas into a scene that also represented the two. The client selected the card spread, reflecting a once-in-a-lifetime draw for both players. The significance this arrangement holds inspired me to imbue equally symbolic meaning to the cards themselves. Each card reveals a fragment of the represented character's personality and growth (and by extension, the couple) that all combine together into a greater scene.

I dove into card research to begin. The resulting work mixes a history of playing cards, film lore, and my own interpretations to translate every card into a meaning aligned with the overall message in the scene.

Some Basic Card History & Design

I was also given a card design format to work within. These were to be single orientation, and coffin shaped, inspired by a limited edition run of Nightmare Before Christmas cards that are nigh impossible to acquire now. The coffin shape is certainly unique, yet the layout has come full circle to match early designs. For centuries, playing cards faced one direction only, the court presenting full figure images rather than the flippable portrait view we use now.

With only two to three cards representing each suit, I felt the suits needed to stand out from each other as much as possible. In researching the suits themselves, I learned the pips (symbols) for each suit have transformed several times throughout history. Suits began with woodblock pips of items like batons, swords, coins, and cups. Sound familiar? That’s because our modern 52-card deck and Tarot cards derive from the same playing card origin! You may recognize these pips in the Minor Arcana as wands, swords, pentacles, and cups.

15th century France came up with another recognizable system of pips based on Germany’s from a few decades before: clubs, diamonds, spades, hearts. These simplified symbols made card-stamping much easier, and this style spread to become the common international playing card design we use today. When forming my designs for this work, I looked to the French and German pips first for interpretation.

There’s some interesting design behind the Court, or Face cards as well - the only card type shown in this work. All face cards represent actual historical figures: the King of Diamonds is Caesar, the Queen of Hearts Judith, and the Jack of Clubs Lancelot, for example. Modern cards employ other now-standard visual design choices too. For instance, three particular face cards form the “One-Eyed Royals”, being the only figures drawn in profile. I haven’t found any symbolic meaning for why this has been done (if anyone knows please tell me). Unfortunately, neither the visual standards nor historic reference held much emotional meaning, what I was really going for in this scene. I confess I chose not to reference these details in this work’s card design. If that sort of thing does interest you though, there’s a good article that links to more sources here.

In the next segments, I talk about the design context for each card by suit.

Part 2 - Clubs - True Nature

Part 3 - Diamonds - Star-Struck

Part 4 - Spades - Call to Action

I’ll update this space with links to each post as they come out.

Vivian Larsen's cameo from the 60s comedy flop, 'All the Way to the Bank!' where Larsen played, Annette, John Fiedler's secretary who was anything but discrete about her "like" of John Fiedler's character, Harvey Randles, yet he never picked up on the hints. High comedy.
