sad stories of the death of kings by =Thianari
For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;-Shakespeare, Richard II
Playing cards designs based on the BBC adaption The Hollow Crown of Shakespeare’s Richard II, Henry IV Part I, Henry IV Part II, and Henry V.
King of Diamonds:
Richard II
The Suit of Diamonds stands for materialism, egoism and people who like to be in the spotlight.
Richard II had many pictures painted of himself and spent lots of money on jewelry and expensive clothing.
King of Spades:
Henry IV
The Suit of Spades stands for rationality and a logical, non-emotional approach to one’s tasks.
Henry IV holds on to his throne firmly and remains stern in character, even when old age, feelings of guilt and worry trouble his mind.
King of Clubs:
Henry V
The Suit of Clubs stands for visionary thinking, accomplisment, and the beginning of a new stage of life.
Henry V matures from a happy-go-lucky prince to a serious and responsible king.-Artist’s Notes

So, I was explaining Sonnet Sunday to my sister* today, asking her if it should be called “Sunday’s Sonnet” or “Sonnet Sunday”. Her response was “No no, you should call it Sonnet Sundae, like the ice cream dessert, and create a picture of a sundae with Shakespeare’s head as the cherry. And so this picture came into being.
