*My girlfriend took the reference photo, as well as the photo of the happy recipients holding the painting.

Made my buddy @kmink333.bsky.social this birthday card of his kaiju O.C: KLONGO! When I do freebies, it’s usually for myself or my girlfriend. However, Kyle’s been my bestie for over 20 years now, so he gets a birthday discount! #Kaiju #GiantMonster #Watercolor #BirthdayCard

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my, are we glad Washington state just passed SB 5065! This bill prohibits the use of elephants, bears, wild cats and nonhuman primates in circuses and traveling shows!
