Description; A good looking guy (nova, so no d'uh!) in his mid twenties. Tall, fair skinned with brown hair and eyes that look either green or brown depending on his mood.
Quantum; Tarot is a talented artist working strictly in visual mediums that so far have
included pencils, inks and oils. Much more interesting is that he can animate the images after he's created them transforming them to three dimensional physical constructs. He commented during his recent interview with N! that computer images "feel wrong" but didn't elaborate.
Known Facts; Chris Weiss erupted in mid October 2014 after a particularly scathing critique of his (lack of) talent by a respectable Los Angelses gallery owner. His sketch book flew into the air and disgourged every image within as physical manifestations of whatever was depicted (including one dragon and three nudes of famous novas women) that chased the gallery owner out of his building. Meanwhile Chris sank to his knees in the gallery screaming for an estimated 3-5 minutes shattering all the glass within the building before collapsing to the floor of the gallery.
The Gallery achieved some brief notoriety with the law suit that followed though a settlement appears to have reportedly been reached. Tarot's only comments on the case to N! were "Juri McClendon's defense fund is awesome!" and "Lawyers are ****ing parasites but mine were pretty cool." He reportedly donated half a million dollars in US currency to the fund shortly after the interview.
When asked, only one of the three nova women whose images attacked the gallery owner offered comment. Said Los Angeles Public Defender Rachel "DreamState" Norberg; "I know our city will give a new nova like Chris all the support he needs. After all, you got to expect a little drama when people erupt into novas. Oh for sure it was a very talented representation of me. Maybe a little ummm... exaggerated but it captured the inner me well. I'm very flattered.
From a conversation with another nova;
"Q: Why Tarot?"
"A: The name "Tarot" tested very positively for consumer groups ages 16-35... Nah, just kidding."
"When I was sitting in the emergency room I read this article about some rabbis trying to figure out which novas correspond to which angels in kabbalistic lore. That got me thinking about doing a tarot deck so I snagged a pencil and started sketching it out. Which scared the shit out of everybody. Me and a pencil. Anyway, during the ride to the Rash, it hit me that carrying a deck of images instead of just my sketch book might be pretty useful so... Tarot."
