Me neither!! And the fact that Van Allsburg AND the Dillons both illustrated different editions of them is just 👌

Every month when it's time to refill my script I spend 2-5 hours trying to find a pharmacy that stocks it because of the shortage 🥳

I would say that's probably accurate! It's a painting of Portia, wife of roman politician Marcus Brutus. She wounded her thigh to prove to her husband that she could withstand pain and difficulty so he would trust her with his plans to assassinate Julius Caesar

ETA: A commenter pointed out that the second painting was actually done by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard! Another great female painter!

Good catch! My mistake and your correction led folks to another great female painter!

We took inspiration from each cards' original art on things like shape, aesthetics and vibe and then picked iconic vehicle types (monster truck, camper van, light bike) and redesigned them to be flavored as the original cards! Illustrator Ivan Shavrin did an amazing job!

Great question! So none of these were originally cars (I remember seeing that Parhelion II was one of the cards we had to AD as being like....but it's a floating building??) so we decided to reimagine what each would look like if it was a toy!
