Fresh and raw... I'll share better pictures once it has healed! Fantastic design and execution by the artist. It's meant to lay flat and neat while I write or draw. It's the Chakobsa dinlih for "The spice must flow", incorporated into the symbols on Paul's crysknife he kills Feyd with. Very giddy over how well it turned out!
The personal meaning, besides the tongue in cheek super nerd concept as a Dune fan, is that the creative brain juices must flow. He who controls the hyperfixation, controls the universe. I'll look at this as reminder in times of block.

I had such a great time a couple weeks back with these guys! I’m flattered that they took the time out of their busy day to make some photos with me. Thank you @lsdunes ! You put on a hell of a show!
Here are a few unedited scans of portraits I made of the guys. @lsdunes @anthonygreen666 @tuckerrule @timpayne_inthemembrane @frankieromustdie @travstever
