We've all been there. After an evening spent trying to beat that one last boss, we realize it's 8:00 am, and we have work/class/adult life starting in just one hour! Where did the time go? Why didn't we just go to sleep like normal people?

*Sigh* - With enough coffee, maybe we can make it through the day!

This design is an anthem to every soul who has sacrificed her/his guts on the alter of gaming! Show your gamer guts with pride!

The left inscription is a famous death poem by the Japanese Zen master Hakuin Ekaku (1685 - 1768) . The translation reads:

Oh young folk —
if you fear death,
die now!
Having died once
you won't die again.

The right inscription reads as kireochi, which means 'rage quit', but also literally means 'to cut and fall'. (The Japanese language loves the word 'cut' - you find it in all kinds of idioms. It's a real blade-happy language.)

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
