I bet those decks are going to look really nice in person. Looks like the engraving is pretty deep.

He's got some great work. I'm not too into big graphic printed shirts but my wall could use a nice print :drool:

There is a message behind this concept: peace, love, truth, wisdom and universality. The artist known as Cryptik doesn't want you to focus on the idea of the cult of personality, rather the message that we are all a united people, a collective consciousness of peoples moving in similar paths intertwined for purpose. His artwork tells a narrative of following the greater mysteries of the world that can unfold before your very eyes if you pay close enough attention. His artwork is "The Hero With A Thousand Faces," the journey of the transformative process within ourselves as we go out into the world with different experiences and return as the archetypal character with a global source and share amongst our circle. The hero's journey is always the same: common man goes on an adventure of epic proportions, internal or external, sometimes one can be a metaphor for the other, then battle zones are encountered, confronted headstrong and the hero reigns victorious, then the hero returns to common man and bestows meaning in everyday tedium. Great stories are told this way -- think Don Quixote, Jesus Christ, Zoroaster, Confucius, Buddha, Luke Skywalker, all of whom tapped into this thread....
