Kerri-Jane Mitchell, an artist from Cape Town (South Africa), designed the Queen of Hearts as some symbiosis of two epochs in the life of this lady. Different ages, different moods – different dresses, different friends 🙂

The Queen of Hearts by TigerHouseArt
This Queen of Hearts was designed by an American artist, Jon Wesley Huff (JonWes). It’s inspired by Lars Von Trier’s film, Melancholia, starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alexander Skarsgård, Cameron Spurr, and Kiefer Sutherland. The film was presented 18 May 2011 at the 64th Cannes Film Festival. Dunst (Justine) received the festival’s Best Actress Award.
Melancholia consists of two parts: “Justine” and “Claire”. These are names of two sisters, main heroines of the film. The story revolves around them during and shortly after Justine’s wedding, while an approaching rogue planet is about to collide with Earth.
Trier’s initial inspiration for this film came from a depressive period he suffered and the insight that depressed people remain peaceful in catastrophic events.

These are her Pin-Up playing card queens made in her distinctive style. It’s nice to see some “classic” Pin-Up playing card artworks these days. These can be nice queens for some Pin-Up transformation playing card deck.
