The Fool is the 11th release in the Jawbone Tarot and card 0 in the Major Arcana. This card is profoundly important, as it represents the start of the soul's journey  the moment of innocence from which each of  us must 'fall'.

The Fool symbolizes potential, purity and openness  the state in which we all enter existence. This moment is 'quick as an instant and large as oblivion', for it immediately begins to transition into experience and the temptations of the material world. The Fool is the first step on the journey, whose absence of worldly knowledge precipitates the 'fall' into more complex and conflicted states of being.

Card 0 - The Fool is an edition of 69, and is available to allowlisted collectors only for the first 24 hours. After this, any remaining editions will go to public sale.

ABOUT THE PROJECT 
The Jawbone Tarot is a yearlong creative experiment exploring the aesthetics and lore of tarot cards through the lens of abstract surrealism. One new piece will be made available every Friday throughout 2023, with additional pieces minted to coincide with special dates and events (like the Summer Solstice etc.) The complete Jawbone Tarot will consist of 78 unique cards, with each piece being made available as an edition of 69. 

EARLY ACCESS 
Mint this piece and you'll be added to the allowlist for the following release  making it easier to collect a full set. 

DIAMOND EDITION 
Anyone who owns all 78 Jawbone Tarot cards as of 1 January 2024 will be able to claim the Diamond Edition: a printed Jawbone Tarot deck in a custom-designed presentation box, complete with a signed commemorative book. 

CONCEPT & PRACTICE 
Inspired by the fine-art tarot collections of Salvador Dal and Andrea Picini, each Jawbone Tarot piece starts life as a pencil or ink sketch which is scanned, recolored, and digitally manipulated to further randomize both aesthetic and effect. 

My aim is to balance conscious creative intention with a considered relinquishing of control, increasing the ambiguity of line and form, and making space for unexpected emotional or narrative interpretations.
