Just posting an update if you are waiting for an email. I’ve had a few family issues I’ve been dealing with lately, so I apologize for the delay. I’ll try to catch up with everyone soon!

Time to post it again.
A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

I’ve been struggling lately, all the horrible news has made me feel so helpless and vulnerable. So to combat it I made some artwork, I think it’s important to gather with your community when things like this happen. Please remember your not alone in this 💖

Some pictures of my partners birthday present from a few months ago.
He needed a better place to store his Street fighter collection and all of his controllers so I painted a display case with is favorite characters, Zangief and Alex.
A mock up picture of the cabinet with some controllers, games and the original art I used from the street fighter games. The left door of the cabinet with painted on linework of Zangief from Street Fighter A picture of the cabinet doors. With finished art of Zangief on the left door. And the template for Alex on the right door. Finished cabinet, filled with my partner’s games, controllers and Street fighter merch collection.
