Some of them were cool, Deleware's was really well done...but man, how much more bland could Georgia had been? I was let down when I got to it >.<

Yeah Georgia's was kind of lame. Wisconsin was okay-ish. Lose-lose for me.

Ah cool, they did a nice job on Texas.

Yeah I liked Texas'. New Jersey's is terrible, I'm assuming they went with a Jersey Shore type thing?

Been following it for a while. Love the idea of bringing different styles together, but at the same time being so cohesive.

It would have been a lot cooler if an artist from the state did it but I love the concept. I see that bear made it on there.

I'm dissapointed in the PA one.

I'm pretty sure all of the people that did them are from their respective states, so either Two Arms were born in Florida or the info on their site's dated.

The Texas one was cool, but i live here and i have never gotten in a gunfight with an indian or owned a cowboy hat.

It's because of our natural texas friendship.
