Archaeology nerd that I am, I'm digging up Sutton Hoo artifacts to use for The Emperor. I think for the background I'll use some very strict mathematically designed figures. All the talk about The Man makes me want to find a picture of the Ticktock Man, but I'm not sure that's quite the image I have in mind. I'll think about it, though.
Pity so much Medieval art is either abstract or of Popes. I want a Medieval king, goddammit! Maybe if I search for Arthur...
I think I'll do this in snap-to-grid. Very rigid, very strict spacing.
Is there a reason the Emperor doesn't have the black & white? He's not a metaphysical binary, but he is a practical/temporal binary. Binary thought, like Lisa complains about all the time.
Charlemagne. Maybe I want a picture of Charlemagne...

Notes on The Emperor -
He advocates a four-square world where trains are on time, games are played by rules, and commanding officers are respected. In chaotic situations, the Emperor can indicate the need for organization. Loose ends should be tied up, and wayward elements, harnessed. In situations that are already over-controlled, he suggests the confining effect of those constraints. ... creating order out of chaos ... taking a leadership role --http://www.learntarot.com/maj04.htm
Just as the Empress embodies the female power and force, the Emperor encapsulates the male dynamic force in life. Here we find action, decisiveness and high energy. There are also many connections with fatherhood and kingship for the Emperor. This is a card that indicates responsibility, a sense of commitment, protection and strong leadership. -- http://www.angelpaths.com/majors/emperor2.html
(Ooh, hey. How about some old Anglo-Saxon attributes of royalty?)
Competitiveness, forcefulness in development and execution. Authority, structure, governmental and corporate identities. Worldly power, self control gained through experience. Ability to shoulder responsibility. Powerful individuals, ambition together with the possibility of long term achievement. -- http://www.paranormality.com/tarot_emperor.shtml
The EMPEROR is the one who determines patterns -- http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/forum_archive/p1829.php
(OOh! Mathematical patterns!)
Aries is the infant, the first sign of the Zodiac. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. ... The Emperor card is the "Who's the boss?" card. It is an important question. --http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/basics/emperor.shtml
In his right hand he holds an Egyptian Ankh and in his left hand is the globe of domination. ... DIVINATION MEANING : The fruits of toil, the results of action. Represents the father or figure of authority. --http://www.paralumun.com/tarotemperor.htm
There can be no winners without losers. ... This is the card of a real go-getter, but perhaps one who does not mind leaving a battlefield strewn with bodies for the sake of a conquest -- http://goldentarot.com/maempe.htm
