Two paged UBD drawing with envelope.

Year: 2026
Tecnique: Pencil, lineseed oil.

This UBD is part of the ongoing TAROT — Pentacles Series. Every morning during my childhood, my mother used to drink her coffee and read the tarot cards. The motif on this UBD comes from the tarot deck she used. As I learned from her how to handle money, you can imagine how money was handled in our house back then. As a successful freelance fashion designer, she would sometimes earn huge amounts of money, but then spend them immediately on unpaid bills, horses for her daughter and alcohol excesses. Whenever a tarot card from the Pentacles series came up, the house was filled with hope that money would come soon. So, I decided to draw the whole series on my unpaid bills. This UBD shows the King of Pentacles.

The invoice of this UBD is for the German public broadcasting fee. Every German knows the feeling of being late paying it. Everyone is annoyed by it, BUT it helps fund independent public broadcasting and well-researched TV and radio programs.
