You know that moment when what you thought was going on suddenly turns out to be much, much more? That's Ari's moment. And this is Ari's delirious card, created by @meerkatpress.bsky.social and yours when you preorder #DarkMatter meerkatpress.shop/products/dar...
A collage image of a shimmering disco ball, a powerful lion, a majestic sun, and in the center a man in a hipshot pose, smoking an impeccable cigar, wearing shades and looking up. Above is ARI and below is "want to dance"
