I took inspiration from the Ace card in the Tarot deck for the illustration on this poster. In most Tarot decks, the Ace card depicts a large hand appearing from the clouds holding either a wand, a sword, a cup or a pentacle. Instead, I placed a set of uilleann pipes in the hands appearing from the clouds.

I used an image of Seamus Ennis's hands for the source for the drawing, and received guidance from the pipers at NPU for accuracy on the drawing of the pipes.
