Firstly, have no guilt about smoking a cigar. A cigar or pipe smoking (ask @winstonalden) has actually been tied to longevity. I think it's only cheap cigarettes with all the chemicals that are bad for you. Good tobacco enjoyed at leisure with a fine port or good scotch is a recipe for joy and long life, so say I.

I love your tarot pieces. I am considering doing an homage piece to you and doing my version of my number card (remember you shared with us how to figure out our number tarot card)

I love his face and his expression makes me think of the Terry Pratchett novel's version of Death. I am not sure if you are familiar with his books, but his Death character makes me smile. And this, too, though dark, still makes me smile. I can see the humour in the human condition, because if we cannot smile and laugh at ourselves, what a dire lot we'd be.

The radiating rays of glowing light around his head is equally impressively met with the amazing mottling of blues at his feet.

I am excited to see what your new project is! I love projects!
