This features me dealing a hand of heads-up-for-rolls poker between famed poker degenerate Tony G and Russian president Vladimir Putin. Tony G is from Lithuania, and made his mark in the poker world by cleaning out associates of Putin in ultra high stakes poker games in Moscow. Life isn't that easy though. He then got himself banned from Russia when he became outspoken with national causes as a Lithuanian member of European Parliament.

I'm in the middle of this composition because I at the time I was a Russian living in Lithuania on my way to freedom in the US. I am also exiled from Russia, but I harbor no ill will towards Putin like most people think. He's but one person, and Russia's problems are too complex for one person ever to solve.

The original of this is a real life 24"x36" painting, but it scanned perfectly by an art museum's expensive scanner in Lithuania, and I made the digitization it into a 3D lenticular gif by adding a depth map.
