Staredown Champion

 Have you ever been in the position in which you must tell a person 'No, I'm sorry. That is simply impossible'. It could be about anything, but I'm thinking specifically in a retail sort of environment, when an overly pushy customer thinks they have the correct answer and 'demand their rights!'. But you, as the lowly, paid person, must tell them they are indeed misinformed, wrong, out of luck and it (whatever it is they want) is simply impossible, out of the question, not an option. And then this person stares at you, stares at you hard. Waiting for you to give in. But you, you know you're right, and what's more - you know you don't even have the power to get this person what they want/need! and whatever they want/need! probably doesn't even exist anyways. So you just sort of stare back at them until they realize their steely gaze is futile.

This card was made in celebration of those moments. Sure it was also made for a specific person - but we don't need to go into the sordid details in public.

The eyes come from a much larger block in which you can see the entire head and shoulders of this nice man. I created a little mask of the part of the block I didn't want to use for this card and taped it onto the grabber bar things on the press that move up and down, allowing me to still slide paper in and out of the press. I really like these cards. Perhaps you need some with your name on them, to hand out in serious situations - to let people know you mean business.
