I've posted about my latest card here:
http://www.oursubtledecay.com/the-emperor/
But I'm a little ambivalent about it. While it is a good straight representation of the iconography a la my Empress card, and while i had every intention of making the first 5 cards of the M.A. very literal and traditional (as archetypes of Everyman, THE Mother, THE Father, etc.), I'm finding that I want to carry the decks uber-theme (that of the archetypes of the Tarot being found in every day situations) all the way through.
So here is another take on the card (this is direct to my Facebook profile):

given the rest of the deck (all visible on oursubtledecay.com), any thoughts? Preferences?
I *like* the card I've done, but because I keep coming back to this question in my mind, I'm thinking I must *like* the other card better and should maybe open up the discussion to other voices (besides my own).
When I did a Kickstarter campaign I posed this question to my backers who overwhelmingly chose the original card.
