Ecclesiastes 11:4 Flower Cross
“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.”
We drew a wilting flower under gathering clouds, with a cross in rose vines on the back. It was planted late and grew anyway, which is more than the seed that never went in.

Isaiah 43:13 Infinity Thorns
“From eternity to eternity I am God.”
We bent thorns into an infinity. The crown was used to mock him, so we made the mockery into the proof of his eternity.

Jesus Won
“Be Exalted”
We used no quote here, just past tense on purpose. On the back he points toward the sky, past the words set above him, because he doesn't take the credit either.

Seneca Volcano Samurai
“No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.”
We drew a samurai facing an erupting volcano. We chose a volcano because it brings chaos and trials, and it's also why the ground around it is the most fertile there is.

Marcus Aurelius Timeline
“Do every act in your life as if it were your last.”
We drew a figure walking away with Roman numerals counting down behind him. Everything behind him is fixed. Everything ahead isn't fully drawn, because the future isn't guaranteed.

Heraclitus Cherry Blossom Samurai
“Character is destiny.”
We drew a samurai under falling cherry blossoms, facing away. Fate isn't luck. Build yourself into someone deserving of the goal and you reach it because of who you became.

Pythagoras Koi Fish
“Virtue is harmony.”
We drew two koi circling each other, equal in size and speed so neither leads, with the quote held still in the middle. Harmony isn't stillness. It's motion kept in balance.
