This is the Edward Snowden pack:

I should make a Jim Bell pack, but I don't draw so well to make a
sticker with your image sending kisses and saying "From Moscow With
Love!".  :)

You will travel a lot and will meet several interesting persons yet,
Jim.  I like to annoy you, but it's an honor to read your messages,
even when I have a completely opposite opinion.  Always will be, dear.
And you should write a book telling more about the crazy times:  the
past ones, the future ones and now.

Good night kisses, take care!  <3
