Watercolour paintings. The scans digitally modifed using an internal frame with different colour saturation.
Description:
Minor suits indicated by symbols. Minors each have a word associated with them. Some of the imagery is inspired by comic book art. Sweeney Todd was a fictional character who first appeared as the protagonist of a series of Victorian penny dreadful novels. He was a barber who killed his victims by tipping them from his chair into a basement, where he would finish them off by stabbing them.
