Career
Hall is a painter, illustrator and high school teacher. He is best known for the original tarot that he created for James Bond film Live and Let Die.[1] His tarot deck, the James Bond "Tarot of the Witches" has been issued in several incarnations, with a guide book by tarot aficionado and author, Stuart Kaplan.[2]
Hall's paintings have been published on two LP sleeves for the group King Crimson, and these three paintings were bought by Robert Fripp from the Portal gallery during the mid-1970s.
During this time, while working on the film tarot, he was a teacher at St. Aelred's Junior High in Glenburn, Paisley; he later worked as an art teacher at Trinity High School, Renfrew and St. Cuthbert's High School, Johnstone.
In 1982 his children's book Groundsel was published by Jonathan Cape and won a prize for best picture book in Japan.[citation needed]
