Help!

 
Geoff Brandenburg @ Goodfoot

Some of my musician friends joke that they are actually in the t-shirt business.  Big money there:  Fans are more likely to buy an image of the band that they can flaunt in real time, rather than an album they can stream for free online. Geoff is one of the artists behind the screen.  He is a freelance illustrator and owns a printshop called Saint Valentine Clothing.  Even though Portland is supersaturated with bands, Geoff says that gigs are sporadic.  He works hard and keeps the wheels turning, but transforming graphics into profits is easier for musicians in the t-shirt industry than for printers in the t-shirt industry.   Geoff's cards didn't lend any insight to this high stakes world of graphic design, but they did indicate a great propensity for love.  He's been single for a while (the curse of art!), but his spread is encouragement to put himself out there.  In conjunction the cards he's holding  (The High Priestess, Ace of Cups, Queen of Cups) represent a transformation from a period of deep introspection to deep intimacy, so long as Geoff put's himself out there.
